What is VitePress?

VitePress is a Static Site Generator (SSG) designed for building fast, content-centric websites. In a nutshell, VitePress takes your source content written in Markdown, applies a theme to it, and generates static HTML pages that can be easily deployed anywhere.

Performance of VitePress

Unlike many traditional SSGs where each navigation results in a full page reload, a website generated by VitePress serves static HTML on the initial visit, but becomes a Single Page Application (SPA) for subsequent navigation within the site. This model, in our opinion, provides an optimal balance for performance:

• Fast Initial Load
• Fast Post-load Navigation
• Interactivity Without Penalty
