+title: How to sneak in a static CMS

+pub_date: 2019-09-24

+## Introduction
+
+To put you in the right mood for reading this article, I ask you
+take some assumptions for reading this article:
+
+Assume you are the CEO of a small IPv6, Linux and FOSS company. Assume
+that some years ago you made the decision to use
+[Django CMS Blog](https://github.com/nephila/djangocms-blog) for the
+blog to support non-technical staff to post blog articles.
+
+Also, for the sake of completeness, assume that you are still running
+your own [private blog](https://www.nico.schottelius.org) with
+[ikiwiki](http://ikiwiki.info).
+
+## Motivation
+
+I believe that before changing anything
+([especially in IT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_invented_here)),
+you should have a good reason for changing. So what could be
+the reason for sneaking in a static CMS? The answer is relatively
+easy:
+
+* Reducing latency
+* Reducing latency
+* Reducing the inhibition threshold for writing blog articles
+
+Let's have a look at each of the points in detail,
+[before letting us convince
+ourselves...](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_invented_here).
+
+### Reducing latency
+
+One of the biggest problems for me is to wait for an web application
+to *save* something. With Django CMS Blog, you have the standard
+**write - save - publish flow**. So when I want to see the result, I
+have to wait seconds. Depending on my distance to our blog this might
+take 1 second (Europe) or about 5 seconds (South Korea). While this
+does not sound like much, it **feels** very long.

+Checkout the **source
+code** on [code.ungleich.ch](https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/ungleich-staticcms).
+
+Eventually, we might move all content from
+[ungleich.ch](https://ungleich.ch) into this CMS.
