Choosing a Rendering Strategy (CSR/SSR/SSG)

Part of the Full Stack Developer Roadmap.

Summary

Deciding, per page, whether to render client-side, server-side per request, or statically at build time — a decision with real consequences for SEO, performance, and data freshness.

How to Learn This

  • 1Categorize a few pages of a project by which rendering strategy fits best.
  • 2Learn why a marketing page favors SSG/SSR (SEO) while a dashboard favors CSR (interactivity).
  • 3Understand ISR as a middle ground combining SSG's speed with periodic freshness.
