Astro is a modern static site builder that delivers lightning-fast performance with a JavaScript-first approach. Unlike traditional frameworks that ship your entire application to the client, Astro only ships the parts that are absolutely necessary.

Why Choose Astro?

Astro offers several key advantages:

• Zero JavaScript by default: Only load JavaScript when you actually need it
• Bring Your Own Framework: Use React, Vue, Svelte, or any other UI framework
• Island Architecture: Send only interactive components to the client
• Great Performance: Built-in optimizations for fast loading

Creating Your First Astro Project

To get started with Astro, you'll need Node.js installed. Then run:

npm create astro@latest my-blog
cd my-blog
npm run dev

This will scaffold a new Astro project and start the development server. You can now begin building your static site!
