" summary

Claims a concrete approach: Astro compiles server-rendered React components into pages that ship zero JS by default, letting you opt into client scripts. Demo shows a docs site built with 11ty and Snowpack assets, measured so small that Lighthouse timing is essentially unmeasurable. The talk shows build files, rendering flow, and a working site, explains how hydration is scoped and optional, and demonstrates the performance gains on real pages.
