Server-side rendering is when content on your webpage is rendered on the server and not on your browser using JavaScript.
Why SSR?
Traditional React apps make multiple requests before presenting content to the user. SSR builds the content on the server and presents it immediately, then does the React stuff like getting data.
Benefits
Performance
SSR apps break JavaScript and CSS into chunks, optimize assets, and render pages on the server before serving to the client browser, resulting in a faster initial load time.
