Astro JS is a modern web framework designed to build fast, content-driven websites with a focus on performance and simplicity. It employs a server-first approach, rendering components on the server and sending lightweight HTML to the browser, which minimizes unnecessary JavaScript and results in faster load times. Optimized for content-heavy sites like blogs and e-commerce platforms, Astro supports data loading from various sources and ships zero JavaScript by default unless specifically required by a component. Its flexibility allows integration with major UI frameworks such as React, Vue, Svelte, and Preact. Unique features like Astro Islands enable interactive components to load only when visible, further enhancing performance. Additionally, Astro offers built-in SEO support and modern development tools, making it a powerful choice for developers aiming to create efficient, high-performing websites.
