quick rundownboth client side
(csr) and server side (ssr), theyre like two peas in a pod but with some key differences. csr lets your app render on the browser, ssr does it all at once from servers.
in simple terms:
-
[code]client-side rendering (CSR):</code> waits for client's device to do most of its work
- "server side renders" first then sends html back, ** so server handles more
i've noticed csr feels snappier, loads faster because it doesn't wait. but ssr can give a better initial page load and keep things up-to-date without re-rendering.
personally i lean towards **[code]csr for most projects cos of the speed benefits ⚡
but theres pros to both - like seo in favor with "ssr". it all depends on your project needs
what do you think? got a preference or use case where one shines over another?
⬇ if csr is so snappy, why not always go for that then?

ps: im curious to hear about any projects using both methods!
