Quickstart
Astro
A static-first integration path for Astro sites powered by Paragraph CMS.
Astro works well with Paragraph CMS when your team wants fast static delivery with enough server capability for preview and editorial tooling.
Recommended architecture
- fetch published content during build for stable marketing routes;
- keep shared navigation, SEO settings, and reusable blocks in collections;
- use server endpoints only where you need preview or form-driven content lookup; and
- generate locale-specific paths from the CMS source of truth.
Implementation checklist
- create build-time queries for pages, taxonomies, and global settings;
- define how editors preview draft content before a full production release;
- make image and asset rendering consistent across all content blocks; and
- treat content model changes as deployment-affecting changes, not editorial-only changes.
When Astro is a good fit
Choose this path when most pages are content-heavy, SEO matters, and content changes are frequent but still predictable enough for static output plus selective invalidation.
