Overview:

This project was created as a research piece for CSS-Tricks to compare the build performance of static site generators (SSGs). At the time (2018-2020), SSG build performance was a significant issue, with frameworks like Gatsby being discarded due to long build times. However, with the evolution of page rendering patterns, decoupled and API-driven sites can now scale in ways that were previously thought impossible. As a result, the value of comparing SSG build performance for generating a large number of static pages has diminished. The project is no longer being maintained, but the results from the most recent runs can still be accessed at the provided link.

Features:

Performance comparison of static site generators
Evaluation of build times for generating 64,000 static pages
Assessment of scalability and efficiency of different frameworks

Summary:

This project aimed to address the issue of SSG build performance by comparing different frameworks and their ability to generate a large number of static pages. However, with the evolution of page rendering patterns and the scalability of decoupled and API-driven sites, the value of such comparisons has diminished. As a result, the project is no longer being maintained, but the results from the most recent runs can still be accessed.
