The example content is from Alexander Wendt's [Publico](https://www.publicomag.com) magazine. Some key features of the Wendt-theme: 1. Responsive with media breaks for large and small screens, and for printing. 2. Top menu with submenus. 3. Two column using CSS grid, ["Holy Grail Layout"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_grail_(web_design)). 4. Multiple blogs: - Each category has its own blog by using filtering. - Each author has its own blog by using filtering. - Aggregate blog, i.e., the combination of the above. 5. Using the `` tag to showcase the initial content of a blog post. 6. Sitemap in HTML and XML, RSS feed. 7. WebAssembly based search using pagefind. 8. No cookies, therefore no annoying cookie banner required.

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 01-Apr-2024. The new site has static comments but currently does not use a commenting system like HashOver. It features 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: Wendt](https://eklausmeier.goip.de/blog/2024/01-02-example-theme-for-simplified-saaze-wendt). The migration of all the content, blog posts and comments, was done via two simple Perl scripts, less than 180 lines. Running the [static site generator](https://eklausmeier.goip.de/blog/2021/10-31-simplified-saaze) on a regular basis: Converting all 770 blog posts to static with comments and dependent sub-blogs takes 5.16 seconds. In total 23,712 entries are processed, CPU is Ryzen 7 5700G. This runtime is single threaded (one core). Using multithreading this runtime cuts in half. 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 Wendt Website: WordPress vs. Simplified Saaze](https://eklausmeier.goip.de/blog/2024/05-14-performance-comparison-of-wendt-website-wordpress-vs-simplified-saaze).
