Can't agree. That website is much simpler. Just a static list of images and text.

There's no complex, dynamic filter. And no special rendering per type of item.

It's a glorified tumbler since the only dynamic part looks like the shopping cart. Everything else is pre-rendered from what I saw in code.

For static content like that I would have used Astro which is the golden standard.

~$500 for hosting that site feels insane to me [0]. I feel like a single $10 VPS could handle that load.

The extra 490 saved isnt worth the optimization. headache
