Need for speed?

Astro’s docs framework Starlight is fastest in its class according to real-world user data 🚀

Check out the full @httparchive.org report: httparchive.org/reports/tech...

And give Starlight a try: starlight.astro.build
A chart from the HTTP Archive Tech Report comparing different docs website builders. Starlight is top with 96% of origins having good Core Web Vitals (12% higher than the nearest competitor), an average accessibility score in Lighthouse tests of 98 (best of all the tools listed), and a perfect 100 score in SEO according to Lighthouse (only one other tool matches this). The other tools in the table are, in descending order of performance metrics: MkDocs, Sphinx, VitePress, Nextra, GitBook, Docusaurus, and Docsify.

Last election, Norway’s biggest news site went down for 3 hours.

This year, VG chose a new stack to make sure that didn’t happen again.

Elections — powered by Astro and @svelte.dev
Election results data on VG.no The headline in Norwegian reads “Stortingsvalget 2025” and a large visualization shows 87 seats for Støre in red and 82 for Listhaug in blue.
