I guess (without proof) #Eleventy builds including assets bundling/minifying could be accelerated with memoization.
Did this for the slugify filter (I use @sindresorhus's one instead of the default) called multiple times with the same string:

Updating webmentions on a static site
When I started using Webmention on this site (more than 5 years ago!), I was building the site on my local computer, and uploading the build result on my hosting with rsync. I've moved to Cloudflare Pages 6 months ago, which means webmentions where updated only when I pushed new content to GitHub. Here's how I fixed that.

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.
If you use #Eleventy and know how to add fetchpriority="high" on your Largest Contenful Paint image, I made a plugin that adds a <link rel="preload"…> for it, even it it's responsive: https://github.com/nhoizey/eleventy-plugin-auto-preload
Feedback welcome! 🙏
There are now pages on my photography site about the cameras and lenses I used to shoot the photos you can see:
https://nicolas-hoizey.photo/gear/
Data are extracted from the photos' EXIF, and pages are still generated with #Eleventy! 😍
TIL in #Eleventy inputPath gives the path to the source content, not to the template generating the page, when we use pagination… Where can I guet the template path? 🤔
