Blurry – static site generator focused on page speed and SEO

Last Updated on November 24, 2024

Blurry is a schema-first, plugin-enabled static site generator. Markdown front matter directly to Schema.org types, so your content is SEO-friendly and rich results-ready out of the box.

Blurry brings the concept of schema-first development to static site generators. Specifically, Blurry uses Schema.org schema type names as the names for its template files, and schema type properties as Markdown front matter to populate those templates.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

• Content is written in Markdown with TOML front matter. Specifically, Blurry uses Mistune, along with a number of Blurry-specific customizations, to convert Markdown to HTML.
• Supports Schema.org and Open Graph with zero configuration. This enables rich Google results and link previews out-of-the-box.
• Good image handling:
  • Converts relative paths in Markdown to absolute paths in the build folder. This enables autocomplete in code editors, which makes for a pleasant writing experience.
  • Generates images of various sizes, specified by the IMAGE_WIDTHS and THUMBNAIL_WIDTH settings. These enable responsive images, using an appropriately sized image for each device. This improves page speed.
  • Uses the element to support AVIF, while providing a fallback for browsers that do not yet support AVIF. It also automatically generates AVIF versions of your images, improving page speed.
  • Grabs the original image’s width and height and includes those values in their corresponding HTML attributes. This tells the browser the image’s aspect ratio, so there is enough vertical for the image in the browser DOM.
  • Lazy loading is supported.
  • Figure caption.
• Minimal configuration.
• Semantic HTML
