I've been yak shaving my website to try and get it to load as fast as possible: https://cetra3.github.io/ I did cheat a little bit and used SpectreCSS but have really tried to squeeze down the page size as much as possible.

(I don't know Vue, but this smells a bit.)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't know, I mostly agree with you, but I disagree that a simple site requires that much. Just drop the files in a folder in some web server and you're done.
Authoritative voice, the creator of Imgz.org (huge fan).
And if you're using firebase, why not just host on github pages with raw HTML and an embedded body css? Even writing HTML and FTPing to a shared host (jus like the olden times) is simpler and closer to the aims of the site.
Not utterly sure what the point of all this is apart from explicitly not using a framework that the author doesn't understand the workings of. You could say the same of firebase and node.
I really like the concept lets say you want to include a code snippet does it support the syntax highlighting and do you write a blogpost in plain html or markdown
You can always write in Markdown, say with iA Writer, then export to HTML. I typically write offline, then type and revise on the computer, then copy paragraphs over to Sublime. Code snippets and syntax highlighting done with CSS.

However, I've also seen simple pages that are line by line copies of tutorials for whole sites, pared down to a single page.
Frameworks aren't bad, unstructured working practices and environments often breed this sort of toxicity in code.
Why? Why are analytics necessary? How does it matter for such a website?
They are great but they are very bad for seo, so they are vastly underutilized.

It's nice to know if people are reading what you're putting out.
