Astro is a modern website build tool designed for creating fast, content-focused websites. It allows developers to use their favorite UI components (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.) while shipping zero JavaScript to the client by default, resulting in exceptional performance.
Key features include:
- Component Islands: Astro renders UI components to static HTML at build time, and then selectively hydrates individual components that require interactivity.
- Zero JS by Default: Astro outputs only the necessary JavaScript, leading to smaller bundle sizes and faster load times.
- UI-Agnostic: Supports React, Preact, Vue, Svelte, SolidJS, and more.
- Built-in MDX Support: Seamlessly integrates Markdown and JSX for content creation.
- SEO Friendly: Generates static HTML, making it easier for search engines to crawl and index your site.
Astro is ideal for building blogs, documentation sites, marketing pages, and portfolios where performance and content delivery are critical.
