Accessibility First DevRel. I focus on ensuring content created, events held and company assets are as accessible as possible, for as many people as possible.
The websites built using Gatsby are 2-3 times faster than websites of similar types of sites. Do not believe me take a look at some of the real-world examples here.

I have yet to see a gatsby site that isn't just plain text crack a score of higher than 80 / 100.
There are obviously benefits if you find it easy to use and performance isn’t a concern, just saying the marketing of “its fast” really doesn’t seem to ring true and with the core web vitals update it might not be the best idea to use gatsby if you want to rank well naturally.
They've put an insane amount of work into Gatsby towards performance and even then, core web vitals updated and you're hosed lol ... this shows the danger of completely relying on a tool/framework like this, no matter how brilliant it is.
Well their marketing is good (same goes for the writer of this article) but if you see it as the silver bullet and a free lunch then think again.
Looks more like some, if not all of these sites are not optimizing their image assets correctly, which is what many times causes the slow down of websites. Gatsby isn't the problem here

This article is a joke. Headspace took a solid 6 seconds to load on mobile.
