Again, another React enthusiast assuming I’m a purist. I’m sorry my comment made you froth at the mouth. I’m not a HTML/CSS purist. I made a point of saying that.

What ever works for you but until you can prove that it “works just fine” by showing your organic traffic and cost per click, you’re not convincing anybody. Otherwise, what’s the point in your comment?

The point of my comment is to tell you that you're wrong by saying React is not appropriate for a landing page. Gatsby (a static site generator) provides equal or better performance than regular HTML/CSS. You apparently have only heard of Gatsby.

Even though I built my site in React, the end result is minified HTML and CSS. So out of the box using Gatsby and React, I have a faster site than you because I have minification. Of course you can also set up minification. Of course this has nothing to do with React. It has everything to do with what organizations like Gatsby are doing, which is just part of the React ecosystem.

You're scaring people away from adopting the React ecosystem. I'm writing a comment because I need to provide a counter argument for future readers of this thread, not to convince you to use React.

I started blogging on my Gatsby site in January for my business. I get a 98 on PageSpeed and rank for all sorts of keywords. Here's my organic traffic: https://share.getcloudapp.com/RBuv7bWw I'm doing this by myself and I'm happy with results. The idea of switching to writing pure HTML/CSS as some sort of benefit would be completely idiotic to me.
