Need for Speed: How Modern JavaScript Frameworks Are Solving Web Performance
summary
Sites that load in one second convert three times better than five second sites and slow pages cost retailers $2.6 billion annually, so frameworks target three bottlenecks with concrete techniques: React Server Components and Next.js streaming send prebuilt HTML and stream heavier pieces so headers appear immediately; Astro islands and Vue lazy hydration avoid hydrating unseen widgets; Qwik-style resumability serializes app state to resume on the client; Nuxt Nitro deploys to edge runtimes to shave latency.
