Expert Astro Code Review for AI-Built Apps
Astro is a content-focused framework that ships zero JavaScript by default. AI tools generate Astro sites with unnecessary client-side hydration, misconfigured SSR, and improper integration of React/Vue/Svelte islands.
Common Astro issues we find
Real problems from Astro codebases we've reviewed.
Unnecessary client directives
Using client:load on components that don't need interactivity, shipping JavaScript that negates Astro's zero-JS advantage.
Misconfigured SSR adapters
Server-side rendering adapter not properly configured for the deployment target, causing build failures or runtime errors in production.
Island hydration mismatches
React, Vue, or Svelte islands that fail to hydrate correctly due to server/client rendering differences, causing layout shifts and broken interactions.
Missing image optimization
Using raw <img> tags instead of Astro's built-in <Image> component, serving unoptimized images that slow page loads.
Exposed API keys in static builds
Secret keys used during build time that get embedded in the static HTML output, visible to anyone viewing the page source.
Astro production checklist
Key checks before deploying your Astro app.
Client directives used only on interactive components
SSR adapter matches deployment target
Images use Astro <Image> component with proper sizing
No secrets embedded in static output
Content collections with proper schema validation
Proper 404 and error pages configured
Build output tested for all routes
SEO meta tags and Open Graph configured per page

Frequently asked questions
Is Astro the right choice for my project?
Astro is ideal for content-heavy sites like blogs, marketing pages, and documentation where fast load times matter. For highly interactive apps, a framework like Next.js or Remix may be better.
Why is my Astro site loading JavaScript?
Likely due to unnecessary client: directives on components that don't need interactivity. We audit your islands architecture and remove unneeded hydration to restore zero-JS performance.
Can you deploy my Astro site?
Yes. We deploy to Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, or any static hosting provider — configuring SSR adapters if your site uses server-side features.
