Not everyone agrees with that. A lot of people think the efficiency of writing code in favorite language X makes up for the added hosting cost. I just don't believe it with how many choices are available now. Maybe that was true 5-10 years ago. Now we have a good 5 languages with maybe 40 frameworks that run less than 3x slower than C. That's really really fast. Enough that you could run anything under top 500 sites with a single machine.
Static CDN hosted react/angular SPA with a speedy backend can serve a stupid amount of traffic even on AWS free tier.
- C1sc0cat 7y agoAs an Enterprise SEO with over 15 years experience I don't really give any F&%!'s about your favourite language What I need is something that is faster than the competition, is properly built to minimise usage of our crawl budget and is flexible enough to add new content quickly can properly handle site migrations can implement hreflang for say a dozen locales.

Super popular REST libraries like Flask, Django, and Rails don't even support it!! That's why choosing the right language and framework is super important from the beginning. It's easy to choose something slow as mollases and get left in the dust with constant performance problems
