Astro is an open-source content-oriented web framework that, by default, ships static HTML pages with no JavaScript sent to the browser (« zero JS »), delivering top performance for editorial, marketing and e-commerce sites.

Its main innovation is the islands architecture: each interactive component is isolated and hydrated independently, so you can drop reactivity (React, Vue, Svelte, Solid…) only where you actually need it, without paying the cost of a full SPA.

Astro is used by the websites of Firebase, The Guardian, Cloudflare and Netlify Docs, among others.
