Astro Development for Lightning-Fast Websites
Our AI-managed teams build content-rich websites with Astro's islands architecture, delivering perfect Lighthouse scores and instant page loads.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes Astro different from Next.js?
- Astro ships zero JavaScript by default and uses an islands architecture where interactive components hydrate independently. This makes it ideal for content-heavy sites where most pages are static. Next.js is better for highly interactive applications.
- Can I use React components in Astro?
- Yes. Astro supports components from React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, and Preact in the same project. You choose which components hydrate on the client and which render as static HTML.
- Is Astro good for SEO?
- Astro is excellent for SEO. It generates static HTML by default, produces tiny page sizes, and includes built-in sitemap and RSS generation. Search engines see fully rendered content immediately.
- Where can Astro sites be hosted?
- Astro sites deploy to any static hosting: Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, AWS S3/CloudFront, or GitHub Pages. For SSR mode, it runs on Node.js, Deno, or edge runtimes.
