Traditional: 800ms – 2s load time
JAMstack:   100ms – 300ms load time

Before: 2.8s load, Lighthouse 45/100

// You don't have to worry about:
- Load balancing
- Database optimization
- Server capacity
- Cache invalidation

// CDN does it for you:
✅ Edge locations worldwide
✅ Automatic scaling
✅ DDoS protection

// app/page.tsx
export default function Home() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Ultra-fast website</h1>
      {/* Server Components by default */}
    </div>
  );
}

// Automatic:
// - Image optimization
// - Font optimization
// - Code splitting
// - Tree shaking

---
// Ultra-light: only 0 JS by default
const posts = await fetch('/api/posts');

<main>
  {posts.map(post => (
    <Article title={post.title} />
  ))}
</main>
