A fresh batch of five links for you check out!

The founder of the de facto WordPress SEO plugin has put together one of the most thorough Astro SEO guides we've seen, plus a brand-new backend handoff tool and a few smaller but satisfying reads rounding things out.

Yoast SEO founder Joost de Valk walks through his entire Astro SEO stack, covering everything from metadata and structured data to agent discovery. Comprehensive enough to hand directly to an AI coding agent.

A video walkthrough of setting up a headless CMS-powered Astro 6 site using Strapi, with a full starter project you can run locally and build on. Plus a look at using a Claude Code skill to extend it with new pages automatically.

Frontmatter Solo converts a constrained Astro project into a Twig or plain PHP render pack at build time, producing a documented variable contract ready to hand off to your backend team.

Three small but high-impact UX improvements one developer made to their Astro blog, each solving a friction point that's easy to overlook.

Migrating from WordPress to Astro and finding “more” delimiters scattered through your Markdown? This post explains why the obvious approaches fall short and walks through a clean solution.

SPONSOR MESSAGE:

AI help, without the trust tax.

Most AI tools ask you to trade your data for intelligence. Norton Neo doesn't. It's the first safe AI-native browser built by Norton, and it gives you powerful built-in AI without handing your privacy over to get it. Search, summarize, and write with AI built directly into your browser. Your data stays yours. Your context stays private.

Built-in VPN, anti-fingerprinting, and ad blocking come standard. No add-ons. No setup. No compromises.

Fast. Safe. Intelligent. That's Neo.
