Best static site generator for a docs site in 2026?


I'm looking for recommendations for a static site generator to rebuild our documentation site in 2026.

1. Markdown support 2. Fast build (<60s) 3. Search without JS 4. Deploy on GitHub Pages

Budget: $0

I use Hugo Book[1] for the documentation of FormBeep[2]

It's been super easy and I host it free on CF pages:

"Search without JS" and "static site generation" doesn't make much sense. Without client-side search, you'll need a search product or back-end search functionality? (both of which are not "static")

I have used this one : https://deepsite.hf.co/

It generates static pages using only HTML and CSS, which makes it blazing fast. It can also handle jQuery and JavaScript very smoothly.
