Why I Use It
I use Astro in Local Business Factory (@lbf/site-renderer) to generate ultra-fast, multi-tenant websites for local businesses. The islands architecture means 100/100 Core Web Vitals with near-zero runtime client JS, keeping server compute minimal while maximizing SEO.
When I Recommend It to a Client
When clients need extreme SEO, marketing sites, or directory/documentation platforms where speed and Core Web Vitals directly drive conversions without React SPA bloat.
Full Review
Astro is my go-to engine when content performance and SEO matter more than heavy client-side state. In Local Business Factory, we use Astro to render dynamic local business sites with blazing speed. By hydrating only interactive components through Islands architecture, we get the developer experience of modern components with the runtime weight of plain static HTML.
