> (3) is incorrect, Gatsby initial page load times are mostly really bad.

This has not been my experience, considering all HTML is ready to go from last byte so that other than blocking CSS, rendering can begin ASAP. At this point, no JS is required to interact with the page so things are generally pretty snappy while we wait for React hydrate to kick in.



Pick a few random sites from the Gatsby showcase on their homepage and run them through webpagetest.org Simple Testing.


shopflamingo.com, ideo.com, ca.braun.com, and bejamas.io are all blazingly fast for me.


Ideo has a pretty bad insight score (41): https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=...

First paint: 4.1 Seconds. Time to interactive: 11.5 Seconds.

I wouldn't say that's very fast.

Edit: I didn't check the other three.


shopflamingo.com gets 47

ca.braun.com gets 77

bejamas.io gets 96

So implementation dependent I guess


You mean your computer or on webpagetest.org?
