The Top Five Static Site Generators for 2023 (and when to use them!)

Eleventy is a great choice for developers who value simplicity, flexibility, and customizability, and who want an SSG with fast build times and a strong community of support. If you’re focused on build speed and site performance, and would rather avoid JavaScript in your built sites where possible, you’d be hard pressed to choose anything other than Eleventy.

   Oh… you need to quickly start a new #Eleventy project on your computer?

   Asuming you already have npm installed, here's how to use my Pack11ty starter/plugin:

   npm create [email protected] your-project-name

   Easy enough? 😁

   If someone is creating service workers with #Workbox recipes and injectManifest, a build with #esbuild, and doesn't have any issues, I'm interested! 😅

   I have a very strange issue:

   Bonus points if this is with #Eleventy

   Some things I wish people mentioned when writing about #Eleventy usage, moreover concerning assets bundling (Sass, JavaScript, etc.):

   • Does it run only once per asset, or once per template where the asset is used?
   • Does it run before or after HTML is generated?
   • Does it manage hashes for cache busting?

   This is really important for sites with many contents/pages, build speed, and site performance.

4. How I built my own excerpt for Markdown content in Eleventy

   I was not really happy with Eleventy's native excerpt solution requiring just a separator and having the excerpt content preserved in the content, without any way to style it differently. So I tried different alternatives, and settled on a solution with some Markdown-it plugins and a bunch of regexes.

   I've read the whole documentation for #Eleventy's WebC components: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/languages/webc/

   Time to experiment, I guess!
