I just switched a site from #11ty 3.1.6 to #buildawesome alpha for the new Nunjucks async, and I reduced my build time from 55 seconds to 33 seconds, removed 40+ packages, and made 937 deletions in package.json.
I could probably go lower if I ditch the PDF metadata checking, but I keep having PDF issues, so I'm loath to remove it. https://www.adamdjbrett.com/blog/2026-07-05-build-awesome-cloudflare-optimization/
