Rendering web pages on the server before sending HTML to the client.

Definition

SSR generates HTML on the server for each request. The user gets a fully-rendered page on first paint — better SEO, faster perceived load, better social-share previews. Modern frameworks (Next.js, Remix, Astro) make SSR routine. The trade-off: server cost and complexity vs. pure static generation.

Example

A Next.js dashboard SSRs the user-specific data on each request, while marketing pages are statically generated at build time.
