Limitations

What Bengal doesn't do

1 min read 95 words

No Server-Side Rendering afada

Bengal generates static HTML at build time. There's no runtime server.

For dynamic content, use client-side JavaScript or edge functions.

No Image Resizing

Bengal compresses images (using Pillow with quality optimization) but doesn't resize them or generate responsive variants. Use external tools likesharpor a CDN for resizing and responsive image generation.

Large Sites

Sites with 10,000+ pages will have slower full builds. Incremental builds stay fast.

Windows

Developed on macOS/Linux. Windows works but may have edge cases.
