Astro is a modern frontend framework that empowers developers to build fast and efficient static websites. With Astro, developers can leverage the power of modern JavaScript frameworks like React, Vue.js, and Svelte to create dynamic user interfaces while producing static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files during the build process.
When coupled with WordPress as a headless content management system (CMS), Astro enables seamless integration of backend APIs and frontend code, allowing for efficient development of static websites with dynamic content. This approach offers several benefits.
Static sites generated with Astro and a WordPress backend boast superior performance. They can be served directly from a content delivery network (CDN), eliminating the need for server-side processing and resulting in faster load times and a smoother user experience.
