I ended up using a static site generator for my personal site because I fucking hate JS and frameworks and WebComponents. The front page is 646 KB and it loads in 4 seconds. I'd love for it to be 1 second or less, but the fonts are a factor.
And I shrunk the shit out of that background too with pngcrush so miss me with that.
My front page is 613KB with Wordpress. Moral of the story, you don't have to use a static website generator to have light things.
Can I achieve the same with vue.js or flutter? I need to learn this
Yes. You can. I have a personal site that is using nuxt static site mode and it renders extremely fast and clean output.
