summary
Argues that React becomes a practical website platform when wrapped in a build tool that hides webpack/Babel and automates performance tasks, showing a concrete implementation: Gatsby static site generator that ships image resizing plus Retina support via the Gatsby Image component, exposes content through GraphQL queries, and already supports 62 source plugins. Demonstrates per-page automatic code-splitting and lazy-loading so sites build fast by default and navigation loads only needed JS and data.
