Review Astro?

Reviewers are unusually consistent: Astro is seen as fast, simple, and especially strong for content-heavy or static sites, with many praising its easy setup, clean developer experience, strong SEO, and flexible templates. Several users say it scales from portfolios and knowledge bases to fuller web apps. Founders of Zyphe and Chinilla specifically credit its islands approach for shipping little JavaScript on static pages while keeping interactive parts fast, and others value mixing components from different frameworks with little config.

I use Astro in Claude to build all my websites. I've moved all WordPress sites to Astro. I can't say enough how much I've enjoyed it building with it and using it for SEO. It's faster, easier, more customizable, more affordable...the list goes on. Absolutely love it.

For me, the development experience with Astro has been fantastic. I’ve used it to build several content-driven websites, which is exactly the type of site Astro excels at. However, Astro is not limited to static content sites—it's now capable of handling backend APIs, making full-stack development possible. That’s why I’m also using Astro to develop various full-stack websites. I remember seeing a member of the Astro founding team mention that they hope people find it almost impossible to build slow websites with Astro. I really admire this mindset and dedication, and I hope Astro continues to become even more powerful and user-friendly in the future.

Astro has changed the way I write static pages forever. This is a way too good piece of software tooling for frontend devs. It has ironed out many issues I face, while offering a simple and easy way to write webpages, especially with Type saftey even inside markdown. And the fact that you can write components in almost any framework is amazing as well... The islands architecture is really nice, opting into interactivity as needed. View Transitions in Astro is unparalleled. Starlight is an amazing docs framework. Finally time to move off of VitePress, even if it was pretty good.
