Vite SSG with Vue 3 generates completely static HTML at build time. 110 pages compile in 2.8 seconds with TTFB ≤200ms through nginx. No JavaScript hydration overhead, no database queries — pure static files that load instantly. This is 3-4× faster than WordPress (Google CrUX, 2026).
How Vite SSG Works
Vite SSG pre-renders Vue 3 components into static HTML during build. The process:
- Vite compiles
.vuefiles into JavaScript - SSG plugin renders each route as a complete HTML page
- Static HTML, CSS, and minimal JavaScript are output to
dist/
The result: every page exists as a ready-to-serve HTML file. No server-side processing needed.
Performance Comparison
| Metric | WordPress (PHP+MySQL) | GitHub CMS (Vite SSG) |
|---|---|---|
| TTFB | 400-800ms | ≤200ms |
| Page Load | 2-5 seconds | <1 second |
| Build Time (100 pages) | Per-request | 2.8 seconds total |
| Server Resources | High (PHP+MySQL) | Minimal (nginx only) |
| Database | Required | None |
Why Static Wins for SEO and GEO
- Crawl Budget: Faster TTFB means more pages crawled per visit
- AI Crawlers: Static HTML parses instantly without JavaScript rendering
- Reliability: No database connection errors, no PHP timeouts
- Security: No SQL injection, no PHP vulnerabilities
Summary
Vite SSG + Vue 3 provides the optimal foundation for AI-visible static sites. The build process is fast, the output is clean, and the resulting sites deliver exceptional performance without databases or server-side processing.
