What's normal/acceptable build time

As I am sure you already know, the number of content pages is only one of many factors that determines build time. For example:

git clone --single-branch -b hugo-github-issue-8602 https://github.com/jmooring/hugo-testing hugo-github-
cd hugo-github-issue-8602
hugo
                   |  EN    
-------------------+--------
  Pages            | 10461  
  Paginator pages  |  1035  
  Non-page files   |     0  
  Static files     |     0  
  Processed images |     0   <-- no image processing
  Aliases          |    10  
  Sitemaps         |     0  
  Cleaned          |     0  

Total in 4445 ms

That’s about 0.0005 seconds per page.

No. In the example above…

  • Pages: 10,461 (content pages + section pages + home page)
  • Paginator pages (pagers): 1035
