# Astra

> Astra is a fast, lightweight (less than 50 KB), and highly customizable WordPress theme by Brainstorm Force, active on over 1.8 million websites. It works with any page builder (Gutenberg, Spectra, Elementor, Beaver Builder, Divi), loads in ~0.5 seconds, and includes 300+ pre-built Starter Templates with one-click import for businesses, blogs, portfolios, and WooCommerce stores.

Important details:
- The free Astra theme on WordPress.org is fully functional, not a limited trial. Astra Pro is a separate add-on plugin (not a different theme) that extends the free theme with advanced modules.
- Astra is a theme, not a page builder. It provides the site framework (headers, footers, layouts, blog, WooCommerce styling) and pairs with any page builder for page content.
- Built with vanilla JavaScript, lazy loading, per-page dynamic CSS, built-in schema markup, and HTTP/2 readiness. Compatible with major caching plugins (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache) and SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math, SureRank).
- Fully compatible with WooCommerce and SureCart for eCommerce, with deeper integrations including Easy Digital Downloads, LearnDash, and LifterLMS.
- Part of the Astra ecosystem by Brainstorm Force (founded 2009), which also builds Starter Templates, Spectra, Ultimate Addons for Elementor, CartFlows, OttoKit, ZipWP, and SureFeedback.
