Pre-rendering
Pre-rendering is a web development technique where HTML pages are generated at build time or on-demand before being served to users, rather than rendering them entirely in the browser. It improves performance, SEO, and user experience by delivering fully-formed HTML content immediately, reducing the need for client-side JavaScript execution. This approach is commonly used in modern web frameworks to optimize static or dynamic sites.
Developers should use pre-rendering when building websites that require fast initial page loads, better search engine optimization (SEO), or improved accessibility for users with slow connections or limited JavaScript support. It's particularly useful for content-heavy sites like blogs, e-commerce platforms, and documentation pages, where static content can be pre-generated to enhance performance and reliability.
