Cloudflare announced that it has acquired the team behind Astro, a popular open-source framework used to build fast, content-driven websites. Under the agreement, Astro will remain open source, with Cloudflare committing long-term investment to ensure the framework continues to prioritize speed, reliability, and developer flexibility.

Cloudflare said the move strengthens its focus on high-performance web development as search engines and users increasingly favor fast-loading, lightweight pages. Astro is widely adopted by major brands and platforms and is designed to ship only the minimum code required for each page, improving load times and search visibility. With the Astro team joining Cloudflare, the company plans to accelerate Astro’s roadmap, including support for additional JavaScript runtimes and faster build times.

Cloudflare emphasized that Astro will remain framework-agnostic and usable beyond Cloudflare’s own infrastructure, while ongoing community contributions will continue to be supported through the Astro Ecosystem Fund and industry partners.
