Developer Ditches Next.js, Hits Perfect Lighthouse Scores

Original: Removing Next.js Got My Blog to 100 on Every Lighthouse Category

A developer reports that removing Next.js from their personal blog resulted in a perfect 100 score in every category of Google's Lighthouse performance tool. The write-up details how stripping the framework in favour of simpler static output cut overhead and boosted load metrics. Reactions are split between those praising minimalism and others defending Next.js for larger, more complex applications.

Why now: Debates over framework overhead versus raw performance continue to resonate with web developers.
