Astro Framework

Build faster websites using Astro's zero-JS-by-default approach. Master Island Architecture to hydrate only interactive components while shipping pure HTML.

Focus on performance by shipping less JavaScript to the browser. Learn to build content-focused websites using Astro's unique rendering engine, which strips away unused JS automatically. You will learn to mix and match UI components from React, Vue, and Svelte within a single high-performance static site project. This results in near-perfect Lighthouse scores and superior user experience on mobile devices by hydrating only necessary interactivity.
