Build Time Benchmarks: Ranking Today's Static Site Generators by Real-World Delivery Speed

Not all static site generators are created equal when measured against the metrics that actually matter in production. We ran identical content through Next.js, Hugo, Jekyll, Astro, and Eleventy to surface honest numbers on build times, deployment latency, and time-to-first-byte. The results challenge several widely held assumptions about which frameworks truly belong in a speed-first workflow.

Your Static Site Isn't as Fast as You Think — Here's Where the Speed Is Actually Going

Static sites carry an implicit promise of speed, but a surprising number of production deployments fail to deliver on it. The culprits are rarely exotic — they are bloated JavaScript bundles, poorly configured caching headers, and unoptimized assets hiding in plain sight. This piece walks through the most common performance leaks and offers a prioritized set of fixes that require no architectural overhaul to implement.

Edge-First and Accelerating: How the Modern CDN Is Redefining What Static Can Do

The boundary between 'static' and 'dynamic' is dissolving at the edge. A new generation of CDN capabilities — from edge functions to intelligent cache orchestration — is enabling static-first teams to ship personalized, globally distributed experiences without surrendering the speed and simplicity that made static compelling in the first place.

From Overloaded Servers to Optimized Budgets: The Real Numbers Behind Static Hosting in 2024

Migrating from dynamic server infrastructure to static deployments can yield dramatic reductions in monthly AWS expenditure — but the savings extend well beyond compute costs. This breakdown examines real-world case studies, hidden cost drivers, and the ROI framework engineering teams need before making the switch.
