Server Mediated Routing
Server Mediated Routing is a web development approach where routing decisions are handled by the server rather than the client. In this model, the server processes URL requests, determines the appropriate content or page to serve, and returns the full HTML response to the browser. This contrasts with client-side routing, where navigation is managed by JavaScript in the browser without full page reloads.
Developers should use Server Mediated Routing for applications that require SEO optimization, fast initial page loads, or simpler architecture without heavy JavaScript dependencies. It is ideal for content-heavy websites, blogs, e-commerce platforms, and applications where server-side rendering is prioritized for performance and accessibility. This approach ensures that search engines can crawl content effectively and users see content immediately, even on slow connections.
