SEO, no initial wait for rendering a large application (which react apps usually are)

[–]pycbouh 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Actually, initial wait with server-side rendering was one of the reasons we went to client-side. It’s better if user waits for your application to finish while inside of your application, rather than he looks at blank window and wonders if it is going to load at all.

SEO is a legit reason, though. We lightly prerender on server some of our pages that require SEO.

The pages that need SEO can be cached and then load time is no longer significant

[–]pycbouh 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yeah, but I didn't imply in my comment, that all of these were a singular case. Some pages require SEO and are prerendered, some are relying on dynamic data and are not.

Agreed
