The example content is from [Daniel Lemire](http://lemire.me). Some key features of the Lemire-theme: 1. Lightweight as there are no gimmicks, no social media icons, no categories+tags, no dark theme switcher 2. Fully responsive with media breaks at 39rem, 60em, 78rem 3. Uses the [HashOver](https://eklausmeier.goip.de/blog/2022/01-04-hashover-comment-system-with-hiawatha) commenting system.

Simplified Saaze ================ [](#simplified-saaze) *Simplified Saaze* is a fast, all-inclusive, flat-file CMS for simple websites and blogs. Static site builders are fast but normally have a steep learning curve and require lots of tooling to make them work. We believe building a personal site should be stupidly simple. That's why *Simplified Saaze* is built on the following principles. - Easy to run - All you need is [PHP8](https://www.php.net), a C compiler, and [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) - Easy to host - Serve dynamically or statically - Easy to edit - Edit content using simple Markdown files - Easy to theme - Templates use plain PHP/HTML - Fast and secure - No database = less moving parts + more speed - Simple to understand - Everything is a collection of entries For more info and documentation for the original Saaze see . Read [*Simplified Saaze*](https://eklausmeier.goip.de/blog/2021/10-31-simplified-saaze) for installation and usage. Speed ===== [](#speed) The entire WordPress blog including comments has been migrated to a static site as of 08-Dec-2023. The new site has comments, a commenting system using HashOver, and instant search via [Pagefind](https://eklausmeier.goip.de/blog/2023/10-23-pagefind-searching-in-static-sites) using WebAssembly. The migration, theme, and installation is explained in [Example Theme for Simplified Saaze: Lemire](https://eklausmeier.goip.de/blog/2024/01-02-example-theme-for-simplified-saaze-lemire). The migration of all the content, blog posts and comments, was done via two simple Perl scripts, less than 300 lines. Running the [static site generator](https://eklausmeier.goip.de/blog/2021/10-31-simplified-saaze) on a regular basis: Converting all 2,259 blog posts to static without comments takes 0.41 seconds, including all comments it takes 0.91 seconds for all the 3,935 entries (CPU is Ryzen 7 5700G). This runtime is single threaded (one core). Using multithreading would further reduce this time. The static site generator *Simplified Saaze* is known to be more than 10-times faster than Hugo, see [Performance Comparison Saaze vs. Hugo vs. Zola](https://eklausmeier.goip.de/blog/2021/11-13-performance-comparison-saaze-vs-hugo-vs-zola). The resulting static site is served three times faster than the WordPress site from Frankfurt and San Francisco as checked by [Pingdom](https://tools.pingdom.com). See [Performance Comparison of Lemire Website: WordPress vs. Simplified Saaze](https://eklausmeier.goip.de/blog/2024/01-14-performance-comparison-of-lemire-website-wordpress-vs-simplified-saaze).
