Cloudflare, Inc., a leading connectivity cloud company, has announced that the team behind the Astro web framework, The Astro Technology Company, will be joining Cloudflare. Astro, a popular JavaScript framework, is widely used by major brands including Unilever, Visa, and NBC News, as well as hundreds of thousands of developers, to build fast, content-driven websites.
Under Cloudflare's stewardship, Astro will remain open source, ensuring long-term growth and continued innovation for the framework. The acquisition aims to reinforce Astro as the go-to framework for high-performance websites, particularly those focused on content delivery.
Astro's unique approach ensures that only the essential code required to render a page is loaded, enhancing speed and performance. This is increasingly important as search engines prioritize fast-loading pages and users expect near-instant website experiences.
