A recent report shows Astro adoption numbers are climbing fast, and with Astro 6.0 also teased this week, now feels like a great moment to be in the ecosystem.
Let's take a look at what’s been happening!
A recent HTTP Archive report shows Astro usage is up 11.8% on mobile and 14.6% on desktop, and it's backed by Astro's own telemetry too, with npm downloads up 40%.
Florian Riquelme walks through a complete SEO setup for Astro: sitemap, Open Graph, JSON-LD, RSS, and canonical URLs, all wired from two dependencies and a single layout file.
StackOne ditched Webflow for an Astro + Cloudflare Pages stack built almost entirely with Claude Code, ending up with a mobile Lighthouse score that jumped from 42 to 92.
An Astro dev toolbar plugin that detects every JSON-LD structured data block on the current page, displays the parsed data in a readable format, and validates it against common Schema.org types.
OpenPolicy is a new open-source Astro integration that treats legal policies like code: define them as TypeScript objects and they compile to Markdown at build time, with jurisdiction-aware sections for GDPR and US requirements.
