Why SvelteKit?

SvelteKit represents a fresh approach to web development. Unlike traditional frameworks, Svelte compiles your code to vanilla JavaScript at build time.

Key Features

Server-Side Rendering

SvelteKit makes SSR simple and intuitive. You can easily mix server and client code in the same file.

File-Based Routing

The file system is your router. It's intuitive and powerful.

Progressive Enhancement

Build apps that work without JavaScript, then enhance them.

Performance Benefits

Svelte's compilation step means smaller bundle sizes and faster runtime performance. Your users will notice the difference.

Developer Experience

The DX is exceptional. Hot module replacement, TypeScript support, and excellent documentation make development a joy.

Conclusion

If you haven't tried SvelteKit yet, now is the perfect time to start.
