Full Page Reload vs Server-Sent Events
Developers should understand Full Page Reload as a fundamental concept in web development, especially when working with traditional multi-page applications or server-side rendering frameworks like Django or Ruby on Rails meets developers should learn sse when building applications that require real-time, server-to-client updates, such as live dashboards, chat applications, or news feeds, as it offers a lightweight and easy-to-implement alternative to websockets for one-way data flow. Here's our take.

Full Page Reload
Nice PickDevelopers should understand Full Page Reload as a fundamental concept in web development, especially when working with traditional multi-page applications or server-side rendering frameworks like Django or Ruby on Rails
Pros
- +It's relevant for debugging performance issues, implementing fallback behaviors in SPAs, or ensuring compatibility with older browsers that lack advanced JavaScript capabilities
- +Related to: single-page-application, ajax
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Server-Sent Events
Developers should learn SSE when building applications that require real-time, server-to-client updates, such as live dashboards, chat applications, or news feeds, as it offers a lightweight and easy-to-implement alternative to WebSockets for one-way data flow
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to avoid the complexity of bidirectional communication or when working with HTTP/1
- +Related to: websockets, http
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Full Page Reload if: You want it's relevant for debugging performance issues, implementing fallback behaviors in spas, or ensuring compatibility with older browsers that lack advanced javascript capabilities and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Server-Sent Events if: You prioritize it is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to avoid the complexity of bidirectional communication or when working with http/1 over what Full Page Reload offers.
