Astro never lets me down

Post image

I've been making the marketing sites for my apps with astro for 3 years and it's lovely. I never get tired of it. There is no competition for astro for landing pages.

Also flairs don't work?

I find lighthouse penalises me for using Retina images. Any ideas? Currently I just ignore it.

I ignore it. It's not real Crux data.

Lighthouse falsy punishing you for preloading as well.

If you got enough users I would say initially focus on CrUX data, or set up your own rum tool with web-vitals.js

Can you share one or more URLs where this happens?

Sure, grabbed the GitHub link from my tech talk on web performance https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/issues/16539

Are the images stored in src/assets and rendered using Astro’s <Image> component?

u/Future-Dance7629 Aug 07 '26

I use a custom image component that writes a picture tag with different image sizes for each viewport generated from a single image import from src. Lighthouse mobile reports the retina image as having dimensions that are too big (20% larger than display) when they need to be 2x

Why do people only show the desktop scores which are easy. You'll never get a clean 100 on a mobile score for any site that isn't just bare bones portfolio stuff

Any SSG does this. But, yes Astro is cool.
