Every FWRD site runs on Astro, content via our own CMS, hosting on Cloudflare. Not because it's trendy, but because it's demonstrably the best combination for fast, manageable websites.
Astro 5: frontend. Astro builds every page ahead of time as HTML and only adds JavaScript where a part needs it, such as a form or the cookie notice. That keeps pages fast without you having to optimise anything.
02
FWRD CMS: our own headless CMS. The FWRD editor is an intuitive editor for non-technical users. Content is fetched via API and available to any frontend, including AI page generation via MCP.
03
Cloudflare Pages: hosting. Global CDN with edge nodes in NL/EU. Free SSL, a fresh deploy on every publish, one-click rollback to an earlier version. No configuration overhead.
04
TypeScript: language. Type safety across the entire codebase. Fewer runtime errors, better editor support, easier to hand over if another developer ever takes on the code.
05
MCP: AI integration. Every FWRD site is MCP-ready. Generating pages with AI is built in: no re-migration, it works right away.

Analytics & ad measurement
Google Analytics 4 in anonymised mode plus the Reddit and Google Ads measurement pixels. Those platforms receive a cookie ID, and on a sign-up or enquiry also a hashed (irreversibly encrypted) version of your email address, so they can match a conversion to the right ad click. We never share the address itself.
