Why we chose Astro

1 min read

After Next.js we landed on Astro for content sites. Zero JS by default, 1-second builds.

The JavaScript weight problem

Modern frameworks ship a lot of JS. For a content site most of that weight is overhead.

Astro ships zero JavaScript by default.

Build time

Next.js was taking 70+ seconds. Astro builds in under a second.
