Client-Side Rendering vs Server Side Rendering
Developers should use client-side rendering when building dynamic, interactive web applications like dashboards, social media platforms, or real-time tools where user interactions require frequent UI updates without full page reloads meets developers should use ssr when building applications that require fast initial page loads, improved seo for search engine crawlers, or better performance on low-powered devices. Here's our take.

Client-Side Rendering
Nice PickDevelopers should use client-side rendering when building dynamic, interactive web applications like dashboards, social media platforms, or real-time tools where user interactions require frequent UI updates without full page reloads
Pros
- +It's ideal for SPAs that prioritize a smooth, app-like user experience, as it allows for fast navigation between views and reduces server load by handling rendering locally
- +Related to: javascript, react
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Server Side Rendering
Developers should use SSR when building applications that require fast initial page loads, improved SEO for search engine crawlers, or better performance on low-powered devices
Pros
- +It's particularly useful for content-heavy websites like blogs, e-commerce platforms, and news sites where first contentful paint is critical
- +Related to: next-js, nuxt-js
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
