Episode notes
Why SSR?
- Server-side rendering (SSR) improves SEO because web crawlers struggle with client-side rendered apps.
- SSR also improves perceived speed by sending fully rendered HTML, reducing client-side work.
Meta Tag SSR
- Page metadata (like Open Graph tags for social media) needs to be server-side rendered.
- This allows web crawlers to extract information necessary for previews and SEO.
SSR Framework Choice
- Use SSR if robots or crawlers need to access your content.
- Choose a suitable framework like Next.js for dynamic sites or Gatsby for static ones.
