Editorial Verdict
AI-researched, not hands-on testedFramer's Core Web Vitals performance is genuinely excellent (1.1s LCP, 95ms INP) with 99.99% uptime hosting included. The honest tradeoff: pricing climbs quickly for extra locales or collaborators, official support leans on the community for help, and the free plan carries Framer branding with real limits.
