How do I control JavaScript loading for frontend components in Astro?

Astro is ideal for building content-focused sites like blogs, documentation, and marketing pages. It optimizes performance by shipping minimal JavaScript to the client, ensuring fast loading for static content.

Can I build server-side rendered (SSR) applications with Astro?

Yes, Astro addresses scenarios for building both static sites and SSR applications. It optimizes user experience through efficient client-side rendering and partial hydration strategies for your content-focused projects.
