Astro

A JavaScript web framework for building fast, content-driven websites. It uses server-first rendering and lets you bring your own UI components from any framework.

Astro is a JavaScript web framework optimized for building fast, content-driven websites like marketing sites, blogs, and e-commerce stores. Its performance comes from a server-first rendering approach, which sends minimal, lightweight HTML to the browser and avoids unnecessary JavaScript overhead. A key feature is Astro Islands, a unique architecture that optimizes page load performance to improve Core Web Vitals and SEO.

Astro offers maximum flexibility with zero lock-in, allowing you to:

Use your favorite UI frameworks like React, Vue, Svelte, and Solid.
Pull content from anywhere, including the file system, APIs, or a CMS.
Extend its functionality with a rich ecosystem of themes and integrations.

This makes it a powerful choice for creating high-performance web applications and dynamic server APIs without being locked into a single technology stack.
