The resource table below summarizes results of individual applications, comparing build performance across various JavaScript projects using different build tools and configurations, both closed and open source. The Build Speed Change column* indicates how many times faster the build process is with rolldown-vite compared to plain Vite, always measured with all available native plugins enabled unless noted otherwise (see notes 1 and 2 below).
