Why Speed Matters: ONE’s Blazing-Fast Architecture

In our world every millisecond counts, speed isn’t just a feature—it’s a competitive advantage. Whether you’re an enterprise serving millions or an individual launching your first startup, performance directly impacts:

User Experience: 53% of users abandon sites that take > 3 seconds to load
SEO Rankings: Google prioritizes fast sites in search results
Conversion Rates: Every 100ms delay costs 1% in sales (Amazon)
Operating Costs: Faster sites use less infrastructure

Use Cloudflare

🚀 Subsecond Loads. Every Single Time.

The Numbers Don’t Lie

Page Load:     < 330ms  (average)
Session Check: < 2ms    (cached)
API Response:  < 100ms  (edge)
Time to First Byte: < 50ms
First Contentful Paint: < 400ms

How?

1. Astro 5 + Islands Architecture

Traditional React apps ship megabytes of JavaScript to the browser. ONE uses Astro’s islands architecture—only interactive components load JavaScript:

Traditional React App:  ~800KB JavaScript 📦
ONE Platform:           ~30KB JavaScript  🎯 (96% reduction!)

What this means:

Static HTML loads instantly
JavaScript only where needed
Near-zero Time to Interactive
Perfect for slow networks

2. Cloudflare Global Edge Network

ONE deploys to Cloudflare Pages with edge SSR:

330+ data centers worldwide
Serve content from the closest location to your users
Average latency: < 50ms globally
Automatic CDN for assets
DDoS protection included

Real-world example:

User in Tokyo → served from Tokyo (30ms)
User in New York → served from New York (35ms)
User in London → served from London (28ms)

No matter where your users are, they get blazing-fast performance.

3. React 19 Edge Rendering

ONE achieves the “impossible”—React 19 SSR on Cloudflare Workers:

// Edge-compatible rendering
import { renderToReadableStream } from 'react-dom/server.edge';

// Renders at the edge, not on a distant server
// Result: Subsecond page loads globally

Why this matters:

HTML generated at the edge (milliseconds from user)
Not generated in a single data center (hundreds of ms away)
Streaming SSR for faster First Contentful Paint
Progressive enhancement built-in
