The Performance Cost of Server Side Rendered React on Node.js

4/4/2018

This blog post discusses the performance impact of server-side rendering (SSR) in React applications built with Node.js. It begins by explaining the concept of SSR and how it differs from client-side rendering. The author then dives into the potential drawbacks of using SSR, particularly in terms of increased server load and rendering time. Various performance testing scenarios and results are presented, showing the trade-offs between server-side and client-side rendering. The post also offers insights into optimizing SSR performance and suggests alternative approaches to consider. Overall, it provides a comprehensive analysis of the performance costs associated with server-side rendered React applications.
