Welcome to Issue 69 of the 11ty Bundle. 11ty, aka Eleventy, is a "simpler static site generator" that is designed to be simple, flexible, and highly customizable. It is built on Node.js and allows developers to create websites by transforming templates and data into static HTML files. It supports multiple template languages, giving developers the freedom to choose the languages that best suit the needs of their project.

A note from Bob:
Good news! Knee replacement surgery went well. Tomorrow will be the 2-week mark. I'm sleeping slightly better (and slightly is doing a lot of work there). The pain has reached a more manageable level and I've had a little time to keep the firehose operational. Thanks to all of you who reached out with well wishes. I really appreciate it.
11ty meetup tomorrow. Tomorrow's Eleventy Meetup features David Moll, discussing "Umami + 11ty: A Privacy-First selfhosted approach to Web Analytics" and Zach Leatherman discussing "Blog Awesome, from WordPress to 11ty — walkthrough the imminently shipping Font Awesome blog." Check out the virtual event details. I'll be there, possibly without bells.
Node JS profiling docs. New in the docs is some great info on performance profiling node.js, "The most reliable mechanism for tracking down performance issues in any Node.js based code is to use Node’s built-in CPU Profiling feature (Node v12+)."
Key releases. Check out the releases section below, there are performance improvements and bug fixes galore.
Retaining optimized images across builds. Murtuzaali Surti shows how to maintain optimized images across build in the .cache folder. This is a great build-time performance booster as unchanged images need not be re-optimized. Check it out.
Until next time...

Eleventy's Image Plugin Disk Caching Approach For HTML Transform Method
In this guide, I'll walk you through an approach of utilizing disk cache while using the HTML transform method of the eleventy image plugin. Disk cache is a persistent cache which allows you to not re-optimize every single image at every single build. However, there are some caveats which I ran into while using it with the HTML transform method.

Adding Password Protection to 11ty Pages Using PageCrypt
When building static sites with Eleventy (11ty), you might occasionally need to password-protect certain pages. While static sites don't have built-in authentication mechanisms, we can implement client-side encryption using PageCrypt, a lightweight JavaScript solution that encrypts HTML content and requires a password to decrypt it.
