Eleventy: already where we'd take you

Eleventy (11ty) is a JavaScript-based static site generator. If you're on it, your site is already statically generated. We're not the service you need.

What Eleventy (11ty) is

Eleventy is a flexible JavaScript-based SSG with no client-side runtime. It produces plain HTML.

If you're paying for Eleventy hosting somewhere, the answer is to switch hosts (Cloudflare Pages or Netlify free tier), not to switch frameworks. Eleventy itself is great — flexible, fast to build, no client-side JavaScript by default. The output is plain HTML you can host anywhere.

Eleventy made the architectural choice on day one that the rest of the JavaScript ecosystem has been slowly rediscovering: ship HTML, not framework runtimes. If you're already on Eleventy, you've been ahead of the curve. Stay there.

The one case where we'd help an Eleventy user: you've abandoned the source repo and only have the rendered output, hosted somewhere expensive, and you want to consolidate to our infrastructure. Custom-tier project, very rare. Get an assessment if that's you.
