What is this?

Full SSR renders complete HTML on the server before sending to the client, providing instant content visibility, optimal SEO, and progressive enhancement. The page is visible immediately, then React hydrates it to add interactivity.

Why use this?

  • Best SEO - search engines see full content immediately
  • Fastest time to first contentful paint - content visible before JS loads
  • Works without JavaScript - progressive enhancement for accessibility
  • Better perceived performance - users see content instantly
  • Ideal for content-heavy sites - blogs, marketing pages, e-commerce
  • Trade-off: requires server infrastructure - can't deploy to static hosting
