Stay Static. en Wed, 29 Jul 2026 00:21:30 GMT https://odstatic.com/static-site-generator-benchmarks-2024-build-deployment-speed/ https://odstatic.com/static-site-generator-benchmarks-2024-build-deployment-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.

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.

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.

This breakdown examines real-world case studies, hidden cost drivers, and the ROI framework engineering teams need before making the switch.
