Astro or Next.js for your website?
Five steps to choose. The answer depends on what your site does, not on which tool is in fashion.
How to choose
- List the pagesWrite down each page of the site: the home page, the services, the articles, the contact page. For each page, note what it shows.
- Look for what differs per visitorAccounts, a shopping cart, current prices and stock differ from one visitor to the next. Pages that look the same for everyone do not need them.
- Pick Astro if the pages are the same for everyoneA business site with services, articles and a contact form works well in Astro: static pages with no extra code. The pages load fast on phones, and Google reads them easily.
- Pick Next.js if you have live partsIf the site has accounts, or prices or stock read live, Next.js keeps the static pages and the live parts in one app. The pages that look the same for everyone stay static.
- Check on a phoneOpen an example of your choice on an ordinary phone and see how long the page takes to appear. The Google Lighthouse score on mobile shows the same thing.
