What are the alternatives?

[reducesuffering]

Next.js the comparison shown in those charts

[LunaSea]

I would not consider Next.js an alternative as it's missing a lot of the static website generation features.

I don't think that it has server side GraphQL and Typescript support with data preloading from headless CMSs.

Astro.build perhaps

try it and you'll see, also have you heard the name Gatsby in the past 2 years? I think not.
