That is my intuition also. I heard Vercel's founder on some talk claiming the energy-efficiency of their approach, and thought that should be proved with facts (mostly because of the "x clients" factor you commented). Thanks.
Generally people argue that static HTML is more energy efficient than server side rendering.
I wonder If that is true in the case of static HTML "that loads an SPA", versus a server-side rendering with a proper cache in place. The SPA loading will still consume good energy on each client computer. Would love to see some numbers.
Lots of hype, lots of projects and approaches, and lots of opinons about what is more convenient, but few numbers measurements of resources (space, time, what more?). May be It silly me, and the difference in energy terms is irrelevant.
I would love to hear how the deal was made to include the repository transfer. It is really surprising.
