Server-Side Rendering (SSR) is a technique where web pages are rendered on the server and then sent to the client's browser. This allows search engines to easily crawl and index the content, leading to better SEO and faster initial page loads.
Example of SSR using Next.js (a React framework):
npm install next react react-dom
In your project directory, create a new file named index.js in the pages folder:
// pages/index.js
import React from 'react';
function Home() {
return <div>Welcome to the SSR-powered Home Page!</div>;
}
export default Home;
npm run dev
In this example, the 'Home' component will be rendered on the server-side when the user visits the page. This is beneficial for SEO and initial page load time. As Next.js provides built-in support for SSR, it takes care of rendering the content on the server and sending it to the client's browser.
