What is Server Side Rendering?
Server-side rendering (SSR) is an application’s ability to convert HTML files on the server into a fully rendered HTML page for the client. The web browser submits a request for information from the server, which instantly responds by sending a fully rendered page to the client. Search engines can crawl and index content prior to delivery, which is beneficial for Search Engine Optimization purposes.

Popular examples of server-side rendering JavaScript frameworks include: Angular server side rendering, ejs server side rendering, server side rendering Express, Gatsby server side rendering, Google server side rendering, NestJS server side rendering, NextJS server side rendering, NuxtJS server side rendering, React server side rendering, and Vue server side rendering.

What are the disadvantages of 'Server Side Rendering' ?
Rendering server-side can be costly and resource-intensive as it is not the default for JavaScript websites, and the server takes on the full burden of rendering content for users and bots. While rendering static HTML server-side is efficient, rendering bigger, more complex applications server-side can increase load times due to the bottleneck. Server-side rendering may not be compatible with third-party JavaScript code. Rendering server-side may be ideal for static site generation, but frequent server requests and full page reloads can result in overall slower page rendering in more complex applications.
What are the advantages of Server Side Rendering?
A server-side rendered application enables pages to load faster, improving the user experience. When rendering server-side, search engines can easily index and crawl content because the content can be rendered before the page is loaded, which is ideal for SEO. Webpages are correctly indexed because web browsers prioritize web pages with faster load times. Rendering server-side helps efficiently load webpages for users with slow internet connection or outdated devices.
Server Side Rendering vs Client Side Rendering?
In client-server rendering, rather than receiving all of the content from the HTML document, content is rendered in the browser using the client-side JavaScript library. The browser does not make a new request to the server when a new page is loaded. Search engine rankings may be negatively impacted as the content is not rendered until the page is loaded on the browser, however, website rendering tends to be faster in client-side rendered app.

In considering server side vs client side rendering, the developer will assess factors such as the scale of the project, the complexity of the application, the number of users, and user experience priorities.
