[Sapper](https://sapper.svelte.technology) is the answer to that question. **Sapper is a Next.js-style framework that aims to meet the eleven criteria at the top of this article while dramatically reducing the amount of code that gets sent to the browser.** It's implemented as Express-compatible middleware, meaning it's easy to understand and customise.

The same 'hello world' app that took 204kb with React and Next weighs just 7kb with Sapper. That number is likely to fall further in the future as we explore the space of optimisation possibilities, such as not shipping any JavaScript *at all* for pages that aren't interactive, beyond the tiny Sapper runtime that handles client-side routing.

```
