Exploring Elder.js, the SEO-focused Svelte framework

Elder.js is a static site generator built on Jamstack technologies designed for constructing complex, data-oriented, and SEO-optimized applications. It leverages the Svelte framework to compile application code into JavaScript at build time, focusing on generating highly optimized static pages that are pre-rendered and served via a global CDN. Key features of Elder.js include a customizable build process, support for server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG), and an intuitive data layer that allows integration with multiple data sources. The framework uses a hook system to provide flexibility in page generation, allowing for customization through hooks and plugins that can be shared or bundled for additional functionality. Elder.js aims to simplify the development of large-scale websites with robust SEO capabilities, offering developers control over URL structures and data processing while minimizing the complexities associated with client-side routing and large bundle sizes.
