Here are a few of my observations:-

• Configuration is a little more complex than 11ty or Jekyll.

• Why do partials have to be imported in each file where they are being rendered? Partials need to be global and just can be included in any file without importing.

• Lack of Postcss.

• Lack of plugins that can convert Jekyll or 11ty or Hugo's websites to Zola.

• Waste of Rust language's best features by running it on a local machine to generate a small static site like mine.

• Documentation is not easy to understand and follow.

However, Zola can be considered as an option for building and generating static sites which have a lot of content.
