## Template Metrics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hugo is a very fast static site generator, but it is possible to write
|
2022-11-17 15:14:29 +00:00
|
|
|
inefficient templates. Hugo's _template metrics_ feature is extremely helpful
|
2019-10-21 08:22:28 +00:00
|
|
|
in pinpointing which templates are executed most often and how long those
|
|
|
|
|
executions take **in terms of CPU time**.

**A Note About Parallelism**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hugo builds pages in parallel where multiple pages are generated
|
|
|
|
|
simultaneously. Because of this parallelism, the sum of "cumulative duration"
|
|
|
|
|
values is usually greater than the actual time it takes to build a site.

## Cached Partials
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some `partial` templates such as sidebars or menus are executed many times
|
2022-11-17 15:14:29 +00:00
|
|
|
during a site build. Depending on the content within the `partial` template and
|
2019-10-21 08:22:28 +00:00
|
|
|
the desired output, the template may benefit from caching to reduce the number
|
2022-11-17 15:14:29 +00:00
|
|
|
of executions. The [`partialCached`][partialcached] template function provides
|
2019-10-21 08:22:28 +00:00
|
|
|
caching capabilities for `partial` templates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{% tip %}}
|
|
|
|
|
Note that you can create cached variants of each `partial` by passing additional
|
2022-11-17 15:14:29 +00:00
|
|
|
parameters to `partialCached` beyond the initial context. See the
|
2019-10-21 08:22:28 +00:00
|
|
|
`partialCached` documentation for more details.
