If you want to optimize a website, then (as I&amp;#x27;m sure you know) optimizing the images is about the first thing you need to do.&lt;p&gt;With minimum effort and without apparent loss of quality I could reduce that image to a 0.4 Mb PNG (by uploading to &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;imagecompressor.com&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;imagecompressor.com&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;), if I&amp;#x27;d be willing to change to JPG you can even get it down to 0.2 Mb (&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;photoshop.adobe.com&amp;#x2F;compress&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;photoshop.adobe.com&amp;#x2F;compress&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#x27;s a significant improvement that will really reduce page load times. For me, personally, I would really want to address this if you are positioning yourselves in the website optimization space.

You seem to have similar goals - mostly static site with small amounts of interactivity, minimum JS to achieve that - but Astro supports multiple frameworks, while Elder.js is restricted to Svelte. Are there any other big differences?&lt;p&gt;[1]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;elderguide.com&amp;#x2F;tech&amp;#x2F;elderjs&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;elderguide.com&amp;#x2F;tech&amp;#x2F;elderjs&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain><item><author>fks</author><text>:wave: Hey everyone, one of the Astro creators here!
