SERVICE — ASTRO

Content sites that are fast because they barely ship any JavaScript.

Astro renders your site to plain HTML and adds interactivity only where you actually need it. The result is marketing sites, blogs and stores that load fast and score high on Core Web Vitals — with no heavy framework underneath.

unnecessary JS

Astro is "the web framework for content-driven websites" (astro.build). It renders every component to just HTML and CSS and strips out all client-side JavaScript automatically — you ship only what’s needed. Where a part of the page needs interactivity, it becomes an "island" hydrated on its own.

Technical advantages

Zero JS by default — renders every component to just HTML and CSS.

Islands architecture — interactivity added with a client:* directive, only where needed.

Server islands — dynamic regions rendered per request inside an otherwise static, cached page.

Content Layer — type-safe content from files, API or CMS, with a Zod schema.

Zero lock-in — React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, Preact, Alpine can be used and mixed on one page.

What Astro can do that Hugo can’t

SYNTHESIS

Both give you lightning-fast static sites. Astro goes further where the project needs it: interactive islands, real framework components (React/Vue/Svelte …), and per-route server rendering — things a pure static templating generator doesn’t have. Hugo is the fastest choice for pure static content sites; Astro is static-first but scales into interactivity when you need it.

Better than WordPress

SYNTHESIS

Astro reports that 66% of Astro sites have good Core Web Vitals, versus 48% for WordPress (astro.build, July 2026). Where WordPress themes and plugins ship JavaScript bundles and render PHP per request, Astro ships static HTML with zero unnecessary JavaScript. Faster for the visitor, better for SEO.
