There is visible improvement on local deployment on my end as well but whats more reliable is to get this tested in production.

BTW
really pleased that linkifyProtocol is set to https by default and language in template for alias redirects.

what this is an average of 70% difference almost twice the speed!
Build time dropped from 18.6 seconds to 13.7 
, but the diff output compared to 0.93.3 was massive due to the pretty-printing of every meta-refresh page (I have ~3,000 aliases referencing the old MovableType structure of my blog, plus the usual pagination aliases):

The site is functionally identical, but page aliases are now 10 lines of neatly-indented HTML instead of a one-liner with no newline at the end.

Yea, well – I thought a little before merging that PR, but it’s certainly much easier to maintain a neatly-indented template and the minifier has starting to behave lately.

You can dig up the old template here and copy it into you layouts folder:
Thanks. I’m good with the change, I just called it out because the extra 40,000 lines of diff output made it more difficult to confirm that my site was still building correctly.

There was an unfortunate upstream regression brought to our attention by @bugsysailor.
If you have this in your site configuration:
[markup.goldmark.renderer]
unsafe = true
And your markdown contains an inline HTML comment such as:
Thank goodness <!-- no one will ever see this -->.
The comment will be visible on the rendered page:
This was introduced in v0.93.3, and the upstream maintainer of the markdown renderer is now aware of the regression.

Very impressed by the speed upgrades!

@frankspin89 can I ask you what hardware you ran your tests? I ask because I does not notice that big of an improvement on my MacBook, and I suspect that the nature of the “performance patch” I applied in 0.94.0 does not have that big of an effect on beefier hardware (I have one of the newer MacBook M1 Pro’s with 32 GB of memory).

Looks as if @yuin pushed a fix for this in the goldmark repo. 0.94.1 incoming? 
@frankspin89 that’s some impressive hardware!
@bwintx I think the Hugo Release Team has taken an early weekend.

And well-deserved (the early weekend, I mean).
