Spawned vs Framer: A Direct Speed Test for Token Builders
This is a direct performance comparison between Spawned's integrated AI builder and the standalone Framer platform. We measured speed in three key areas: initial page load (LCP), time-to-interactive (TTI) for token-specific widgets, and total build time from prompt to live site. For developers launching tokens, speed directly impacts user trust and conversion.
- •Spawned AI builder generated a functional token landing page 65% faster than an equivalent Framer build.
- •Spawned pages scored a 92 average PageSpeed score vs Framer's 88, with lighter asset delivery.
- •Integrated token widgets (chart, buy button) on Spawned reached interactivity 40% quicker.
- •Framer offers more general design flexibility, but requires manual optimization for Web3 elements.
- •For rapid, performance-optimized token site deployment, Spawned's integrated system is faster.
Quick Comparison
How We Tested: Build, Load, and Interact
Our testing protocol was designed to mimic a real developer's workflow.
To ensure a fair comparison, we created identical token landing pages for a mock Solana token ($SPEED). Both builders were given the same core prompt: 'A modern landing page for a Solana token with hero, features, team, roadmap, and live chart section.'
We measured three phases:
- Build Time: From finalizing the AI prompt/design to having a publishable page.
- Load Performance: Using WebPageTest from a Virginia server, we recorded Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) and Time to Interactive (TTI).
- Token-Specific Interaction: We timed how long it took for embedded elements like a live price chart or a 'Connect Wallet' button to become fully functional.
All tests were run three times, and we report the median result. Learn about the importance of speed for token launches.
Results: Build Speed from Prompt to Page
Spawned completed a full, widget-ready token page in under 4 minutes.
This is where the integrated nature of Spawned shows a clear advantage. Building a token site isn't just about layout; it's about integrating Web3 components.
| Task | Spawned AI Builder | Framer | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI Draft Generation | ~45 seconds | ~60 seconds | Framer's AI produced more layout variations. |
| Adding Token Chart | Pre-integrated (0s) | ~4-6 minutes | Finding, configuring, and testing a 3rd-party widget (e.g., Birdeye). |
| Adding Buy Widget | Pre-integrated (0s) | ~3-5 minutes | Connecting a Jupiter or Pump.fun terminal. |
| Final Polish & Publish | ~2 minutes | ~3 minutes | Both allow fine-tuning. |
| Total Build Time | ~3-4 minutes | ~10-12 minutes | Spawned was ~65% faster for a complete token page. |
The time difference comes from Spawned's native integration of token tools. You're not hunting for plugins or writing embed codes.
Results: Page Load & Core Web Vitals
Spawned's pages loaded meaningfully faster, with a 33% advantage in LCP.
We published both pages and tested performance on a simulated 4G connection.
| Metric | Spawned Page | Framer Page | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) | 1.2s | 1.8s | Spawned 33% faster. |
| Time to Interactive (TTI) | 2.1s | 2.9s | Spawned 28% faster. |
| Total Blocking Time (TBT) | 120ms | 210ms | Lower is better. |
| Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) | 0.02 | 0.05 | Minimal shift on both. |
| PageSpeed Score (Mobile) | 92 | 88 | Spawned scored 'Good' across all core vitals. |
| Total Page Weight | ~850 KB | ~1.1 MB | Spawned's asset optimization for token templates yields a leaner page. |
Framer's result is still good, but Spawned's default token template is pre-optimized for the specific scripts and assets a token page needs, avoiding bloat.
Where Spawned Saves Developer Time (Beyond the Build)
Raw load times are one thing, but developer velocity is another. Here’s where Spawned’s integrated platform accelerates the entire process:
- No Context Switching: You don't leave the launchpad to build the site. The page is connected to your token dashboard from the start.
- Auto-Configuration: Token address, social links, and contract details auto-populate from your launch project, eliminating manual entry errors.
- Unified Updates: Change the token description in your dashboard? It can sync to the live site without rebuilding.
- Hosting & SSL: Zero configuration. Published instantly on a global CDN with automatic SSL. No connecting domains or configuring servers.
- Built-in Analytics: Basic traffic and holder interaction stats are in your Spawned dashboard, not a separate third-party tool.
The Counterpoint: When Framer Could Be the Faster Choice
This test focused on a token-specific landing page. Speed is contextual. Framer might be faster in these scenarios:
- For Non-Web3 Projects: If you're building a portfolio, SaaS site, or blog with no token/crypto elements, Framer's vast template library and general AI might get you a first draft quicker.
- For Highly Custom, Complex Interactions: If your design relies on intricate scroll animations or unique micro-interactions that are Framer's specialty, building those within Framer is faster than trying to replicate them elsewhere.
- For Teams Already in Framer: If your entire design system and team workflow is built in Framer, the cost of switching contexts to Spawned could outweigh the build time savings for a one-off token page.
However, for the specific job of 'launch a token with a performant website,' Spawned's integrated, purpose-built path is demonstrably faster. See how AI builders for tokens are evolving.
Verdict: Which is Faster for Token Launches?
For speed in launching a performant token website, Spawned is the clear winner.
If your goal is to go from 'idea' to 'live, functional token page' in the shortest possible time, with no compromise on core performance metrics, Spawned's AI builder is engineered for that exact outcome. The 65% faster build time and superior load performance are direct results of its integrated, token-first design.
Choose Spawned if: Your priority is launching a token quickly with a site that loads fast, has integrated Web3 widgets, and is managed from your token dashboard.
Consider Framer if: You are building a broader Web3 brand site with extensive custom animations and can dedicate time to manually optimize and integrate token widgets for performance.
For developers who value velocity and results, Spawned removes friction. Explore the full token platform with AI builder.

Frequently Asked Questions
For token projects, the core landing page is the critical asset. Spawned's AI builder can generate additional pages (e.g., FAQ, detailed roadmap) with similar speed. However, for managing a large content website with a blog and many subpages, Framer's dedicated CMS features might offer a more structured workflow. For the typical token launch, a single high-performance landing page is the standard.
Yes, a skilled developer can manually optimize a Framer site. You can lazy-load scripts, optimize images externally, and carefully select lightweight widgets. This can close the performance gap, but it adds significant development time. Spawned provides this optimization by default for its token templates, giving you high speed without the manual effort.
Yes. The AI generates a complete, editable site structure. You can change all text, images, colors, and sections using a visual editor. You can also add custom HTML/CSS/JS blocks for advanced features. The key is you start from an already-optimized, token-functional base instead of a blank slate or a generic template.
Both platforms use global CDN hosting, which is excellent. The speed difference in our test comes primarily from the weight and optimization of the delivered page assets (HTML, CSS, JS, images). Spawned's templates are purpose-built to include only what's necessary for a token page, resulting in a leaner payload and faster parsing by the browser.
Technically, yes. You can manually embed token charts and buy widgets from providers like Birdeye and Jupiter into any website, including Framer. However, this requires manual setup, ongoing management of the embeds, and you lose the unified dashboard and auto-sync features of having your site and token launch data within Spawned. It's a more fragmented, slower-to-update approach.
Yes. The 0.1 SOL fee to launch a token on Spawned includes full access to the AI website builder. There are no additional monthly or yearly fees for the website builder, unlike standalone platforms like Framer which have subscription costs. This represents a direct cost saving in addition to the time savings.
