After testing many frameworks, I strongly believe Astro is currently one of the best choices for African developers because:
- Extremely low JavaScript bundle size = faster loading on slow connections
- Great performance even on low-end Android devices
- Easy to host for free or very cheap
- Excellent SEO (very important when looking for clients/freelance work)
This post covers my experience and why I recommend Astro to fellow developers across Africa.
