Biznext Desk : Cloudflare, a leading connectivity cloud company, has announced that the team behind The Astro Technology Company—the creators of the Astro web framework—will be joining Cloudflare. Astro is a widely adopted JavaScript framework trusted by major brands such as Unilever, Visa, and NBC News, along with hundreds of thousands of developers worldwide, to build fast, content-driven websites.
Astro will continue to remain open source, ensuring its long-term growth and community-driven development under Cloudflare’s stewardship. With the Astro team joining Cloudflare, both organizations are reinforcing their commitment to a sustainable future for Astro as the definitive framework for high-performance, content-focused websites.
As search engines increasingly favor fast-loading, clean web pages, and users demand near-instant load times, many websites that rely heavily on JavaScript for initial rendering struggle to meet these expectations—often impacting search rankings and conversion rates. Astro addresses this challenge by delivering only the essential code required to render each page, making it a preferred choice for building speed-optimized, content-driven websites.
“Protecting and investing in open-source tools is essential to maintaining a free and open Internet,” said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare. “By bringing this talented team on board and investing in one of the most impactful frameworks for speed and performance, we are ensuring that Astro remains the leading framework for content-driven websites—both today and in the years ahead.”
Fred Schott, CEO of The Astro Technology Company, added, “Joining Cloudflare enables us to accelerate Astro’s development at a much larger scale. Astro will continue to empower developers to build exceptional content-driven websites, whether they deploy on Cloudflare or any other platform.”
