+
+Adds a new experimental configuration option `experimentalDisableStreaming` to allow you to opt out of Astro's default [HTML streaming](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/on-demand-rendering/#html-streaming) for pages rendered on demand.
+
+HTML streaming helps with performance and generally provides a better visitor experience. In most cases, disabling streaming is not recommended.
+
+However, when you need to disable HTML streaming (e.g. your host only supports non-streamed HTML caching at the CDN level), you can now opt out of the default behavior:
+
+```diff
+import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
+import node from '@astrojs/node';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  adapter: node({
+    mode: 'standalone',
++    experimentalDisableStreaming: true,
+  }),
+});
+```
