You should try making a site with Astro. Load speed is cray cray.

Yeah I’m a recent Astro convert. To be fair, any static site will have this effect. It’s just everyone is using react to make landing pages now.

React sites are easily static.

Static or pre-rendered static? I rarely come across the latter, but the former is pretty common.

What makes Astro fast isn't just that it's static, it's that it automatically pre-renders and it doesn't ship a runtime. React can render to static as well, it just also ships the React runtime.
