What we would build for Los Melonares
Three layers, each doing one job
WordPress does everything in one place: pages, database, plugins, images and security. Here each job goes to a specialist, and the content layer is only added when it earns its place.
- 3. Content, when needed
Content management (CMS), digital assets (DAM) and product information (PIM)- CMS: your team edits the site. An editing workspace built around your content, with live preview: “content teams see changes instantly without waiting for builds or deployments.” Official Astro integration.
- DAM: one home for images and files. Sanity Media Library lets teams “manage assets in a centralized place… then use them across your entire organization.”
- PIM: one source for product data. Holds products, variants and their images together, and can “connect all product information from all your sources like ERPs, MDM, PLMs and unify all information in one place.”
When: Add it only when you need it: CMS if your team edits pages often; DAM for a large image and document library; PIM for a product catalogue.
- 2. WebsiteThe pages your visitors see
- Ready-made pages. Every page is built in advance, so there is nothing to assemble when a visitor arrives. That is where the scores above come from.
- No code visitors don’t need. Astro sends no JavaScript to the browser unless a part of the page needs it.
- Nothing to log in to or patch on the server. No login page, database or plugins sit behind the Los Melonares site.
When: Always. It replaces WordPress for the pages.
- 1. Foundation
CloudflareDNS, global network, security and hosting- Your domain’s address book (DNS). Cloudflare runs the DNS that points your domain and email to the right places. Cloudflare describes its DNS as “consistently measured as one of the fastest” in the world, and it comes with every Cloudflare plan.
- Served close to every visitor. Pages are delivered from a Cloudflare data centre near each visitor, not from one server in one building.
- Firewall and attack protection. A web application firewall filters attacks before they reach the site, and DDoS protection (against floods of fake traffic) is always on.
- Hosting. This demo already runs on Cloudflare Pages: no web server, database or plugins to patch.
When: Always. Every site starts here.

How we measured, and exactly what is different on the Astro version
- Tool: Google PageSpeed Insights (Google's hosted Lighthouse). Each site tested 5 times per device, alternating, in the same time window; the middle result (median) is shown. Ranges: mobile 39–55 on WordPress, 100–100 on Astro.
- Test conditions: PageSpeed Insights defaults: mobile = simulated mid-range phone on slow 4G; desktop = simulated desktop on a fast connection. 5 fresh runs per URL per device (a unique #fragment on each request stops PageSpeed returning a cached result; fragments are never sent to the web server), alternating original and copy in the same time window.
- Visitor: First visit, no cookie consent given, no scrolling or clicking during the test (the same for both sites).
- Built natively in Astro: one component per page part (header and drop-down menus, mobile menu, full-height hero, footer), styles and scripts produced by Astro, every image resized and converted to WebP by Astro's image tool. No WordPress, PHP, database, jQuery, Uncode theme or Slider Revolution code.
- Same content and order: the logo, every menu item, language flag, social icon and the footer line are taken from the live English homepage (read on 3 November 2026), with the same Poppins and Roboto fonts and the same colours.
- Fonts from the site's own domain: the live page fetches seven font families from Google Fonts' servers on first load; the demo serves the three font files the homepage actually uses from its own domain.
- Hero video loads on the first interaction: the hero shows the live slide's own landscape photo first. The same YouTube background video (privacy-enhanced mode) is only requested after the visitor's first scroll, tap or key press. The live page starts the YouTube player and its scripts straight away on first load.
- Third-party items are left out: on the live page the Google reCAPTCHA script and the GDPR Cookie Consent banner load before anyone interacts. On Astro, reCAPTCHA would load only on pages with a form. For this demo they are not loaded, so demo visits set no cookies.
- Contrast fix: the grey of the current menu item (HOME) is darkened slightly so it can be read by people with low vision; on the live page it fails the contrast check.
- Links are inert: the demo is the homepage only.
- Look-alike check: passed on 3 November 2026: page heights match the live homepage at 390, 768 and 1440 pixels wide, every text and image matches, and 26 of 26 menu, video and loading checks pass.
- What this does not show: these are lab tests, not measurements of real visitors, search rankings or sales.
