What are the differences between Vue Router SSR and Client-Side Rendering?

What are the differences between Vue Router SSR and Client-Side Rendering?

Vue Router SSR (Server-Side Rendering) pre-renders pages on the server, while Client-Side Rendering (CSR) renders pages in the browser. SSR improves SEO and initial load time, while CSR offers a more dynamic user experience.

What are the benefits of using SSR over CSR?

SSR provides better SEO, faster initial page loads, and improved performance on slower devices. It also allows for better handling of dynamic content.

Are there any downsides to using SSR?

Yes, SSR can increase server load and complexity. It may also require more setup and can lead to longer development times compared to CSR.

When should I choose CSR instead of SSR?

Choose CSR when building highly interactive applications where SEO is less critical, or when you want to reduce server load and complexity.

Can I mix both SSR and CSR in my application?

Yes, you can use a hybrid approach, leveraging SSR for critical pages and CSR for dynamic parts of your application.
