## What it is
A starter repository/template for building high-performance blogs with the Eleventy (11ty) static site generator. It implements extensive performance, accessibility, and SEO best practices, achieving perfect Lighthouse scores by default.

## Use cases
- start a fast personal blog with eleventy
- create a static site with perfect lighthouse scores
- blog template with optimized images and core web vitals
- boilerplate for a high performance static website
- set up an 11ty blog with SEO and accessibility built in

## When to choose
- you want a blog or content site on Eleventy with best-in-class performance out of the box
- you need automatic image optimization (AVIF/WebP, srcset, lazy loading, placeholders)
- you care about Core Web Vitals, accessibility, and SEO defaults

## When to avoid
- you need a dynamic, server-rendered application rather than a static site
- you don't use Node.js or the Eleventy ecosystem
- you want a heavily themed, feature-rich CMS-style blog rather than a minimal template
