The focus on performance and a need for frameworks to address more use cases are two factors driving the creation of more JavaScript frameworks, according to a panel at Jamstack Conf this week. “I feel like a lot of frameworks historically have really tried to be a silver bullet and solve all the use cases simultaneously, and performance suffered for that reason,” Leatherman said.
Google played some part in that focus on performance, Leatherman added, by connecting the dots between SEO and its https://web.dev/learn-core-web-vitals/ metrics.
It helps developers connect performance to SEO, which “makes it actually real to not just developers, but the business people,” he added.
She added that there are more specialized cases, leading to people choosing a framework based on what performance it will offer them for a particular use case.
