Server-Side Vs Client-Side
Server-Side Rendering (SSR)
What It Is: The server generates the full HTML for a webpage and sends it to the browser.
How It Works: When you request a webpage, the server processes the request, builds the HTML with data, and then sends the complete page to your browser.
Advantages:
Faster initial load time because the HTML is ready to be displayed.
Better for SEO (search engines can easily read the content).
Disadvantages:
It can be slower for users with a slow server response.
May require reloading the page for every interaction.
Client-Side Rendering (CSR)
What It Is: The browser generates the HTML using JavaScript after receiving a basic HTML page from the server.
How It Works: When you request a webpage, the server sends a minimal HTML page, and the browser loads JavaScript that builds the content dynamically.
Advantages:
More interactive and responsive because JavaScript handles updates without reloading the page.
Reduces server load as the server mainly sends static files.
Disadvantages:
Initial load time can be slower because the browser needs to download and run JavaScript.
SEO can be more challenging since search engines may have difficulty indexing JavaScript-generated content.
