My site build by Hugo have about 1600 posts, hugo server very slow
Need about 8 mins to built
Whether beacuse posts too many?
How make Hugo build more quickly?
Hugo version is 0.62.2
Thanks
Read the build performance docs; your theme is doing something that doesn’t scale well. Without a copy of the repo, it’s hard to say what, but you probably have a very expensive partial that gets loaded on every page, which can be found with the --templateMetrics option, and likely sped up by using partialCached.
For example, my recipe site has a very lean theme, and builds over 18,000 pages in 18 seconds on a 12-inch MacBook. My blog theme is a lot more complicated, but careful use of partialCached lets it build 5,000+ pages in 20 seconds.

You build a lot of pagination … And it seems to be tag related. How does your tag templates look like?
1 Like
layouts/partials/post/tag.html
{{- with .Params.tags}}
<span class="article-tag">
<i class="icon icon-tags"></i>
{{- range . }}
<a class="article-tag-link" href="{{ "tags" | relLangURL }}/{{ . | urlize }}/"> {{ . }} </a>
{{- end}}
</span>
{{- end }}
What happens if you eliminate the RSS feeds for each taxonomy tag? It’s unlikely that there’s a big demand for subscribing to each tag. From my config.toml:
[outputs]
home = ["HTML","RSS"]
page = ["HTML"]
section = ["HTML"]
taxonomy = ["HTML"]
taxonomyTerm = ["HTML"]
You could also try disabling pagination on specific templates by adding a comment at the top. You’ve got hundreds of thousands of paginator pages that I don’t think you want:
<!--{{ .Paginator 9999 }}-->
Given the small number of actual posts, I think the root cause is that you have a very large list of tags with several of them applied to each post (hence the 0.4-second average time for _default/tag.html). Having a large number of distinct terms in a taxonomy can significantly increase build time, although Hugo has gotten a lot faster since I last tested it with 100,000+ posts.

You shared the contents of layouts/partials/post/tag.html, but that’s not the layout that’s killing you:
