SERVER SIDE RENDERING (SSR)

Use

• Fast initial page load especially on slower networks
• Improved SEO across all search engines
• Initialized data at render time
• User requesting can get unique page
• Users with javascript disabled can still see the application

Don't Use

• Initial page load not most important
• Don’t have ability to spin up and maintain servers
• Static site meets the business need
• Framework in use doesn’t support server side rendering
