# Limitations

## 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 like `sharp` or 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.
