Gridsome is a Vue.js-powered Jamstack framework and static site generator that builds fast, CDN-ready websites from any headless CMS, APIs, or local Markdown files. It provides a centralized GraphQL data layer, file-based routing, automatic code splitting, image optimization, and PWA support out of the box.

Use cases

• build a fast static blog with Vue.js
• generate a documentation site from Markdown files
• pull content from a headless CMS like Contentful or WordPress into a static site
• create a PWA that works offline and scores near-perfect Lighthouse ratings
• build a marketing site deployable to Netlify, Vercel, or S3
• query site content through a GraphQL data layer

When to choose

• you prefer Vue.js over React for static site generation
• you want a Gatsby-like experience with a GraphQL data layer but for Vue
• you need fast, SEO-friendly static sites deployable to any CDN
• you want built-in image optimization, code splitting, and link prefetching

When to avoid

• you need a heavily server-rendered dynamic application
• you require a framework with frequent updates and a large active community (development has slowed)
• you prefer React-based tooling like Next.js or Gatsby
• you need SSR or API routes rather than static pre-rendering
