Server-Side Rendering vs Client Side Rendering
Developers should use SSR when building applications that require fast initial page loads, strong SEO performance, or accessibility on low-powered devices, such as e-commerce sites, content-heavy platforms, or news websites meets developers should use csr when building dynamic, interactive web applications that require real-time updates, such as dashboards, social media platforms, or complex forms, as it provides a smooth user experience with fast client-side navigation. Here's our take.
Server-Side Rendering
Developers should use SSR when building applications that require fast initial page loads, strong SEO performance, or accessibility on low-powered devices, such as e-commerce sites, content-heavy platforms, or news websites
Server-Side Rendering
Nice PickDevelopers should use SSR when building applications that require fast initial page loads, strong SEO performance, or accessibility on low-powered devices, such as e-commerce sites, content-heavy platforms, or news websites
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable in frameworks like Next
- +Related to: next-js, nuxt-js
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Client Side Rendering
Developers should use CSR when building dynamic, interactive web applications that require real-time updates, such as dashboards, social media platforms, or complex forms, as it provides a smooth user experience with fast client-side navigation
Pros
- +It's ideal for applications where user interactions drive frequent UI changes, as it minimizes server requests after the initial load, reducing latency for subsequent actions
- +Related to: javascript, react
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Server-Side Rendering if: You want it is particularly valuable in frameworks like next and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Client Side Rendering if: You prioritize it's ideal for applications where user interactions drive frequent ui changes, as it minimizes server requests after the initial load, reducing latency for subsequent actions over what Server-Side Rendering offers.
