Astro is often chosen for content-heavy sites, but a framework comparison should be made on a real page, not a hello-world build. Recreate an article route with images, metadata, navigation, and the interactive component you need. Compare built output, accessibility, and the JavaScript delivered to a typical visitor.
Then add the content workflow: preview a draft, generate a sitemap, and deploy to your intended host. Check whether integrations or islands complicate maintenance for your team. If the site depends on server rendering or dynamic routes, include one of those in the pilot. A smaller bundle is only useful when editors and deploys still work smoothly.
