nextjs being 4 times slower latency wise than plain react or even vanilla js is pretty funny

The benchmark cases are not comparable to each other. Each does totally different work. They are only meant to compare hosting providers.

Correction: The author of the SvelteKit benchmark says it is designed to do the same work as the Next.js one: https://x.com/bmdavis419/status/1978242304432325041

But the "vanilla" benchmark generates some 3x as much HTML and the react one generates half, so they aren't comparable.

cf has to hire people with obsession not benchwarmers that only activate when someone yells at them because of a twitter argument. there i said it.

vercel only exists because cf got lazy. huge fan of CF, and if cloudflare had the attention to details that vercel has, there would be no vercel. fullstop.

CFs docs, repos, video content but also code samples, sdks (lol all the mcp stuff) usually is subpar to vercel's.

its really annoying that nextjs has to be forked and/or patched to work on cloudflare.

Keep in mind that Theo said the Vanilla benchmark was running too fast so he made it "way way slower" so 4x is not representative of a direct comparison

CF isn't lazy at all. Their docs often aren't that great but it's because they seem to be prioritizing launching new products and features

nextjs is spring of the web, it optimizes productivity rather than app speed.

and whether you are more productive with it or not is completely up to you.
