Benchmark
Same blog with 11 pages:
| Generator | Build Time | JS Payload | First Paint | Lighthouse |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DAX | 127ms | 0KB | 50ms | 100 |
| CAX (C) | 1.2s + gcc | 0KB | 50ms | 100 |
| Blazor | 8s | 512KB WASM | 2100ms | 78 |
| Jekyll | 2.1s + ruby | 15KB | 120ms | 92 |
Why 0KB matters?
- No JS = no parse, no hydration, instant SEO crawl
- No WASM boot = no 2s blank screen
- CDN friendly, edge cache 100%
DAX is not for apps. DAX is for content that must be fast and rank.
Slim philosophy: No bloat, no node_modules, no overhead.
