# Performance

### Using the [raw](https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-raw) plugin <a href="#using-the-raw-plugin" id="using-the-raw-plugin"></a>

This plugin allows you to quickly copy files that are found in the `/src/raw` directory to the `/out` directory without going through DocPad's rendering, thus making it a much quicker process.

Especially useful if placing them in the `/src/static` (or `/src/files`) folder is still slow.

Check the [plugins section of the DocPad docs](/community/plugins.md) for instructions on how to install plugins.
