Nuxt.js: Slowness when compiling

[tiagomatosweb]

Hi,
I've been testing the nuxt for this week. I've created a simple page with background and some texts just to test it. I've found the compiling process too slow. So, I've created the same project using vue webpack template, below are the results.

Using nuxt with the starter template
DONE Compiled successfully in 8307ms

Using vue webpack template
DONE Compiled successfully in 1068ms

As you can see, it is 8 times slower.

Does anyone know why I'm getting this. Does anyone also get similar results? What I could do to speed it up?

Cheers

Could you link to the Vue webpack template you are referencing?

Hi @tiagomatosweb . Normally Nuxt builds shouldn't be WAY slower than starter templates. Also consider that we are comparing a bare-bone project with a fully optimized and production ready one. Nuxt has just made all that interface simpler. Also, we have a two phase webpack build for both SSR and Client bundles while that webpack has one phase for client-only.

For a fair comparison of Nuxt and a Similar full featured project, we may test vue-hackernews-2 which takes ~ Time: 9757ms for SSR + Time: 3991ms for Client. (Nuxt uses parallel builds so is little faster)

Fair enough! Tks for the explanation.

Is there a way to switch as REAL development mode? I don't think this current update is productive, it's very slow and buggy to be honest.

I have same problem, nuxt.js building is really really slow. We need to find a solution to optimize it

Guys, look at this

Maybe it’s worth to try it out

I think the slowness is related to the size of the template part.

For example:

• 280 lines of pure static HTML inside a template compiles in almost 10 seconds for me.
• Once compiled, it starts to compile in less than a second. (webpack cache maybe?)
