Blazing Fast
30-80ms page loads. Not a typo.
BrightSite uses LiveView and WebSocket for real-time page transitions without full page reloads. Templates are compiled to HTML and cached in memory — no database lookups on every request. It's a fundamentally different architecture.
- LiveView + WebSocket page navigation
- In-memory template caching
- Cloudflare CDN for static assets
- 10-50x faster than WordPress
- Automated PageSpeed audits to prove it
Average page load
WebSocket navigation means pages load in milliseconds, not seconds. No full-page reloads. No spinning loaders.
