Behind The Scenes
Automad’s template interpreter is written in pure PHP and processes templates on the fly. No extra build process is required. The list of system requirements is also rather short. A web server with PHP 5.4+ is enough to run a site.
A multi-layer caching engine ensures that a site is rendered super fast even on limited hardware.

In case you are missing an advanced feature, it can be easily implemented as a PHP extension.
