How to solve the problem of slow deployment of hexo to gitee

Hexo is a very popular static blog generator. Its powerful plug-in system and theme extension functions make it very popular among bloggers. After using Hexo for blog creation, how to deploy the blog to the server has become a concern for many bloggers.

Currently, Hexo’s deployment methods can choose GitHub Pages, GitLab Pages, Coding Pages, Netlify, etc. In China, there are two options: one is to deploy to Gitee, and the other is to deploy to Github. However, the question that bloggers are most concerned about is: Should Hexo be deployed to Gitee or Github backend? The answer to this question seems to be not that simple.

First, let’s explain why Hexo is slower when deployed to Gitee. As a domestic code hosting provider, Gitee's servers are located in China. Therefore, compared to Github, Gitee's access speed is faster and more stable. However, due to the way Hexo generates static blogs, source files need to be frequently submitted to the code hosting library, so the Hexo code base in Gitee is updated more frequently. And because Gitee's CI system is relatively slow, each deployment requires a long waiting time. If the number of visits to the blog increases, it will also cause heavy access pressure on Gitee's server, resulting in slower deployment.

However, there seem to be some problems when deploying Hexo to the Github backend. Because Github is a global code hosting provider, its servers are located in the United States, not China. Therefore, GitHub's access speed in China is relatively slow. Moreover, due to different network environments, it is known that accessing foreign websites in China will be slower, which will also affect the speed of Hexo deployment to the Github backend. At the same time, in China, the problem will be further exacerbated due to slow access to the Internet in some areas. In some regions, it may take a long time to complete the deployment of Hexo. In addition, because there are many users operating on Github, the server may sometimes be busy or even down.

So, we can conclude that when Hexo is deployed to the Gitee and Github backends, their speeds may slow down. The speed difference between the two platforms is not very obvious. So, how to solve this problem?

To address the problem of slow deployment of Hexo, we can optimize it from the following aspects:

1. Use the Hexo plug-in rationally. In the process of using Hexo for blog creation, we can choose some efficient plug-ins to optimize the blog access speed. For example, you can use the hexo-neat plug-in to compress HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and compress images to reduce bandwidth usage when accessing your blog. In addition, using Hexo's email rendering function, you can reduce the number of article summaries and homepages, further improving the blog's loading speed.

2. Try to use CDN. CDN is a network data transmission technology based on the HTTP protocol. It can copy static content to servers around the world so that users can access it nearby. Therefore, after using Hexo for blog creation, we can try to store the blog's static resources on a CDN to reduce the delay in blog access speed.

3. Set the Hexo configuration file appropriately. In Hexo, the _config.yml file is a collection of all configuration items, which can control the entire process of blog generation. We can shorten the blog generation time and deployment time by turning off some irrelevant configuration items, optimizing related configuration parameters, etc., thereby improving the access speed of the blog.

In general, there is no clear answer whether Hexo should be deployed to Gitee or Github backend. We can choose the appropriate solution based on our own environment and needs. Whether using Gitee or Github, we can optimize the blog's access speed and further improve the user's access experience by optimizing Hexo's plug-ins, rationally using CDN, adjusting configuration files, etc.
