Make (re)generating website faster

[pronskiy]

Generating and re-generating the website now takes quite significant time, which makes updating painful.

As I understand, the reason is that it generates everything from scratch every time, even if the content hasn't changed. In addition, mermaid diagrams regeneration takes some time.

Where are you looking at the time from?
I checked in GitHub Actions and it takes 20s to build the production site https://github.com/ThePHPF/thephp.foundation/actions/runs/11176464759/job/31069884590

The production build doesn't matter much as it's on GH action.

I meant the development cycle – 20s for any change is very annoying.

Yeah I noticed this too. It used to be instantaneous before.
