Online stores (eCommerce, marketplaces) Why SSR is useful: - Product pages need to load fast and be indexed by search engines. - The user needs to see the content right away (especially the product card, price, reviews). - Previews on social media (OG tags, photos) only work correctly with SSR. Examples: Zara, ASOS, eBay, Zalando, Amazon, Shopify Storefront (Next.js). Key effect: Instant first render, better SEO indexing of the catalog and product cards. --- ## 2. Content sites and media (news, blogs, magazines) Why SSR is useful: - SEO and load speed are critical for traffic. - Content often needs updating, but not in real time. Examples: Medium, [Dev.to](http://Dev.to), Vercel Blog, news portals. Key effect: Fast content delivery, excellent SEO optimization, support for social sharing. --- ## 3. Corporate sites and landing pages with dynamic content Why SSR is useful: - The page needs to look "alive" right away, without waiting for JS. - There are often forms, personalization ("Hello, Alex"), geolocation, or A/B tests. Examples: Marketing pages of SaaS services, financial platforms, agency websites. Key effect: Increases conversion thanks to a fast render and a better first impression. --- ## 4. SaaS platforms and dashboards with public sections Why SSR is useful: - The public part (presentation, pricing, demo) needs SEO. - The internal interface can be CSR, but SSR makes the "entry" instant. Examples: Notion (partially SSR), Linear, Vercel Dashboard (a hybrid of SSR + CSR). Key effect: Optimal UX on entry, no "white screen" before hydration. --- ## 5. Services with personalized content Why SSR is useful: - Content depends on the user, language, region, or session. - You can generate ready-made HTML with the right data right away. Examples: News feeds, recommendation systems, dashboards with user data. Key effect: Content is relevant and visible immediately, without waiting for the API to load. --- ## 6. Platforms with social or user-generated content Why SSR is useful: - Posts, profiles, and comments need to be indexed. - Links to posts/profiles need to look good in previews (OG tags). Examples: Twitter (Next.js), Reddit, Product Hunt, LinkedIn (partially SSR). Key effect: Fast loading of profile and post pages, improved SEO and sharing. --- ## Where SSR is excessive SSR isn't needed if: - the project is a pure SPA/internal interface (admin panel, CRM, analytics), - there are no SEO requirements, - content only loads after authorization, - minimal server latency is critical (for example, a real-time dashboard). Examples where CSR is better: Firebase Dashboard, Figma Web App, Trello, Slack Web. --- ## Brief summary | Project type | Needs SSR? | Why | |---|---|---| | Blog, media, content site | Yes | SEO and a fast first render | | Online store | Yes | SEO, previews, up-to-date data | | Landing page / marketing | Yes | Fast visual response | | SaaS with a public zone | partially | Public zone - SSR, dashboard - CSR | | Social network, catalog | Yes | SEO and link previews | | SPA, admin panel, internal panels | No | No SEO, client speed matters |For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator.
