Astro Development
Zero-JS architecture for marketing sites that need perfect Lighthouse scores and fast organic growth.
Why Astro for content sites
Astro ships zero JavaScript to the browser by default. For marketing sites, blogs, and documentation — where content is the product — this means Lighthouse 100 scores are achievable on every page, not just the homepage.
Islands architecture in practice
Astro's islands architecture lets me drop in interactive React, Svelte, or vanilla JS components exactly where needed, while the rest of the page stays pure HTML. You get the interactivity of a modern framework without the performance cost.
When I recommend Astro
Content-heavy sites: portfolios, agency sites, blogs, documentation, landing pages. If your site is primarily content with light interactivity, Astro will outperform Next.js on Core Web Vitals every time. This site is built with Astro.
Common questions
What kinds of sites suit Astro best?
Marketing sites, portfolios, blogs, documentation, landing pages — any site where content is the primary product. If you need complex auth, dashboards, or heavy interactivity, Next.js is usually the better choice.
Can Astro handle dynamic content?
Yes. Astro supports hybrid rendering — static pages at build time with individual SSR pages opting in. I connect Astro to Supabase, Sanity, or any headless CMS for dynamic content.
Is Astro good for SEO?
Astro is the best framework for SEO in 2026. Zero client-side JavaScript means fast FCP and LCP, and the HTML-first output is trivially crawlable. Combined with proper schema markup it consistently outperforms React-based alternatives in search.
Can you migrate my WordPress site to Astro?
Yes — see the WordPress to Astro migration page for the full process.
Do you use Astro content collections?
For file-based content, yes. For database-driven content I use Supabase with Astro's data fetching at build time or in SSR endpoints.
