Create high-performance websites
Astro Stardrive Boilerplate is a website starter template built on the Astro framework. Its primary function is to provide developers with a pre-configured foundation for creating fast, modern websites with minimal initial setup. The boilerplate includes a range of built-in features designed to streamline development and improve site performance, search engine optimization, and user experience. The boilerplate offers several key capabilities out of the box. It includes a theming system controlled by a single configuration file that manages colors, fonts, and light or dark mode settings. It provides first-class internationalization (i18n) support with locale-aware routing, hreflang tags, and pre-configured translated content collections. The template also ships with pre-built content types for blogs, events, FAQs, and documentation, all using typed content collections that allow users to write in Markdown and generate pages automatically. For performance, the template leverages Astro's default behavior of shipping zero JavaScript unless explicitly required, aiming for perfect Lighthouse scores as a baseline. Typical use cases for Astro Stardrive Boilerplate include creating marketing websites, business landing pages, and content-driven sites such as blogs or documentation hubs. The workflow involves cloning the repository, configuring the single theme file for branding, and then writing content in Markdown for the pre-built page types. The template is designed to be AI-ready, featuring self-documenting code, an llms.txt file, Schema.org markup, and WebMCP integration to help coding agents and search engines understand the site structure. The technical stack includes TypeScript, TailwindCSS, ESLint, and Prettier pre-wired, with a Cloudflare Worker configuration ready for deployment. The boilerplate is available for free and does not require a credit card to use.
