Reviewer scorecard
“Zero JS by default with islands architecture is the right approach for content sites. Performance is incredible out of the box.”
“Jest-compatible API with Vite's speed. ESM and TypeScript work without configuration. The watch mode is instant.”
“For content sites, blogs, and marketing pages, nothing beats Astro's performance. The multi-framework support is practical.”
“If you're using Vite, Vitest is the obvious choice. Even without Vite, the speed improvement over Jest is significant.”
“Content sites don't need SPAs. Astro proved that shipping less JavaScript is both possible and better.”
“Vitest is replacing Jest as the default test runner. Speed and modern JavaScript support drive the migration.”
