I don’t want to suggest that my experience was bumpy, mind you — far from it! Overall, I am delighted by how easy it was to move a decade’s worth of material over to Eleventy. And now that I’ve moved things over, here are some of the things I’m most excited about:
- It’s fast […]
- Eleventy feels like a playground […]
- I feel like I have a blog I can extend […]
- Eleventy is powered by its community […]
My photography site is now built with #Eleventy v3, all JavaScript code is migrated to #ESM, and common features I use in all my Eleventy project are now provided by the #Pack11ty plugin.
Doesn't “3,632 additions and 23,478 deletions” sound like a big improvement?
Much less specific code to maintain in the future! 🥳
Looks like I finaly managed to migrate #Pack11ty, my plugin and template/starter for #Eleventy to v3! 🥳
Including replacing all CJS with #ESM, the most difficult part.

I will now improve the docs, before releasing stable versions.
I have to admit that I'm often sad when I read “Font Awesome” in the code of projects I'm auditing for performance. A fairly heavy font is often loaded to display a few icons, whereas we've known for a long time that SVG is generally more suitable.
But the arrival of Web Awesome, and my enduring admiration for @zachleat@zachleat.com and @leaverou@front-end.social (and their creations) means that their arrival at Font Awesome may well change my epidermal reaction to the name.
Bravo!
I'm now using #Eleventy's screenshot service for my links content, thanks a lot @zachleat@zachleat.com!
But…
…it looks like many screenshots fail, so I get the default image — Eleventy's logo —, as you can see in my #Cloudinary Library… 😅

Alex […] shares how using CloudCannon for client sites boosts performance and efficiency 🚀
I love #CloudCannon's efficiency. 👍
But with an SSG, #WebPerf depends on the way you build pages. Good SSGs — as #Eleventy — don't force anything so performance is really just the result of developer's work.
The CMS should have no impact. 🤷♂️
