Astro is a modern static site builder that allows you to create fast, content-focused websites. With Astro, you can use your favorite UI components (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.) without sacrificing performance.
Why Choose Astro?
Astro’s unique approach allows for zero JavaScript by default, meaning faster loading sites. However, when you need interactivity, Astro makes it easy to hydrate specific components with JavaScript.
