Maven: Can I speed up the mvn site?

Question

Is there a faster way to create a maven site for preview?

Background:

I am using an mvn site to create a website that includes documentation for our project. I use the apt format, which is simple and very few errors are actually made, but I want to get feedback after adding a lot of content, so I don’t have to spend too much time looking for syntax errors.

The problem is that it takes about 2 minutes to create each site, and I would like to get faster feedback, and then this is how the site looks, and if I made any mistakes when entering documents. This is not a big problem, but the situation can certainly be improved.

Also, to help me, I use vim with syntax highlighting, and if I need to get a quick preview, something has a good eclipse plugin that allows me to see if apt suits me (of course, this is not the same, what maven is generating, but it's close enough).

I am open to any other suggestions, but creating a quick preview using maven would be the best option for performance.

Set up the reporting section to disable what you don’t want. Dependency analysis, for example, takes a lot of time. Look at the document for the plugin project-info-reports-plugin.
