CORE DEFINITION

The page's HTML is generated on the server side, so the browser can display it immediately upon download, without waiting for local JavaScript to execute.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Lower the barrier to reception. When you send a report to your boss or client, don't send a source file that requires them to 'download attachment - unzip - install fonts' to view (client-side rendering). Instead, give them a PDF or screenshot that opens immediately (server-side rendering). Keep the computational burden on your side, and give the other party the fastest first-screen experience.

Anchor fast decisions

In web engineering, the server generates the complete HTML and sends it to the client, rather than assembling it on the browser side. The mechanism is that the server produces the first-screen content.
