FAQPage Schema
How do I build a fast content-driven website with zero JavaScript by default?

Astro builds fast content-driven websites using islands architecture, shipping zero JavaScript by default while allowing opt-in hydration for interactive components. This approach keeps blogs, docs, and marketing sites lightweight and performant.

What is the best way to manage structured content and routing for a blog or docs site?

The best way to manage structured content is using Astro's content collections and routing. Content collections enforce schemas for your markdown or structured data, while file-based routing in the src/pages directory automatically generates your site structure.

Can I deploy a server-rendered Astro site to Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare?

Yes, you can deploy server-rendered Astro sites to Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, or Node environments. Astro uses configurable adapters to connect your SSR application to these leading hosting providers for flexible deployment.

How do I optimize images and add page transitions in a static site generator?

Astro handles image optimization and page transitions natively. The framework includes built-in image optimization tools and client directives to deliver performant UIs without manually configuring asset pipelines or transition logic.

Does this web framework support both static site generation and server-side rendering?

Yes, Astro supports both static site generation (SSG) and server-side rendering (SSR). You can configure SSR with adapters for dynamic content while retaining the fast, content-driven benefits of islands architecture for your website.
