Understanding React Rendering Methods
In the podcast, Ben discusses four rendering methods in Next.js: CSR, SSR, SSG, and ISR. Client-side rendering (CSR) delivers a blank page to the browser for client-side rendering and is suitable for highly interactive experiences like design tools or third-party widgets. Server-side rendering (SSR) is the OG of web rendering, rendering everything on the server and providing unique content per request, great for SEO and performance but slower server rendering times.
