Static Content vs Server Side Rendering
Developers should use static content for performance-critical websites, blogs, documentation sites, and marketing pages where content changes infrequently, as it enables fast loading times, low server costs, and high scalability with CDNs 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.

Static Content
Nice PickDevelopers should use static content for performance-critical websites, blogs, documentation sites, and marketing pages where content changes infrequently, as it enables fast loading times, low server costs, and high scalability with CDNs
Pros
- +It is essential for optimizing SEO, reducing latency, and simplifying deployment in modern Jamstack architectures, where static files are generated at build time and served globally
- +Related to: html, css
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
The Verdict
Use Static Content if: You want it is essential for optimizing seo, reducing latency, and simplifying deployment in modern jamstack architectures, where static files are generated at build time and served globally and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Server Side Rendering if: You prioritize it's particularly useful for content-heavy websites like blogs, e-commerce platforms, and news sites where first contentful paint is critical over what Static Content offers.
