They are completely performant enough to serve small static websites, if you have low traffic (it should be confortable with a few connections per second).
I think another limiting factor to look at is your upload bandwith. If it's too low, then it will saturate and your conection will be very slow. Some ISP provide asymetric bandwith (much higher download than upload), so that's not the best case. If you have fiber, then you're absolutely good to go.
If your blog is featured on HN first-page, then it certainly won't handle the load with a RPI. But for most blogs, it should be enough.

I've just benchmarked my Pi4 running Nginx on Raspbian from my laptop over wifi, running Apachebench and obtained 322 requests per second with a 34kB html file (the HN homepage). Running ab on the Pi itself, the CPUs can deliver over 3k rps though of course the network subsystem is an important part of the story.
