Eleventy is a static site generator built for speed, and the reason it can deliver is that it leaves a bundler behind, said Eleventy creator https://github.com/zachleat/, in an interview with The New Stack. “The real reason that https://github.com/11ty/eleventy is, in many ways, a lot faster than a lot of the competitors we have in the same spaces, is that we don’t use a bundler,” Leatherman told The New Stack.
A lot of site generators do use a bundler, he added.
Other site generators that compete with Eleventy include Astro, Gatsby, Next.js, Next, Remix and SvelteKit.
As web standards improve over time, the need for features supported by a bundler decreases, he explained.
