What is Server-Side Rendering? (Server-side Rendering with JavaScript Frameworks)

Server Side Rendering (SSR) is the process of taking a client-side JavaScript Framework website and rendering it to static HTML and CSS on the server. Why is this important? We all want fast loading websites and SSR is a tool to help you get your website rendered faster.

SSR flips the process of rendering a JavaScript framework app and when done right can give your users a better page load.

Hello,
Riot for sure should be one of the libraries you guys should cover and thank you guys for implementing cloud functions to firebase. That was the last missing peace for web app developers on your platform to be the best in the market!

Thank you for this video. It answers several questions I had about SSR. In addition to the process, the benefits and costs are also well-explained.

I was waiting since 8 months for firebase to bring this server side rendering feature.

Please do forecasts 3 times a week. You are my favourite firecast anchor 😊

Can we get a tutorial on how to do this with vanilla jJavaScript custom elements? It seems weird to cover server side rendering g of component driven frameworks without doing vanilla custom elements.

You guys should make a tutorial on Authentication with a Social Media account with Node and Express. It's so confusing and I think it's a critical step to building a website / web app with a user database.

[adambernath]

is there a way to use ssr without frameworks, just plain vanilla js, css and html?
I only see solutions for react, next nuxt etc. and I dont like excess crap for a simple blog or a few page website

[saurabhmangal]

How can I know if my server (website host) allows me to give a service to my users where I let them download a pdf based on the text/spacing options selected by them on a HTML form. Is there any free service which can be installed on the webserver?

[ivankuznetsov]

Is there place I can buy this wooden Firebase logo like on David's macbook?

[gaminggenes]

I just wondering if this "Server-Side Rendering" can help to solve the dynamic generation of Open Graph meta tags problem faced by social media crawler like Facebook?
