Astro Shatters Framework Size Benchmarks: Zero Runtime at 3.17 kB

Astro proves that eliminating framework runtime entirely is possible and practical, delivering a 3.17 kB bundle—94% smaller than React. This breakthrough challenges the industry assumption that rich interactivity requires framework overhead, signaling a new era of performance-first web framework design. For developers, it opens new possibilities for building fast, interactive applications without paying the traditional performance penalty.
