> there's no excuse for your pages to load slower than a static site.

Indeed all web pages should be static pages. Anyone still doing server-side rendering in 2023 and defending it for any use case at all needs to turn in their badge.

Same goes for people promoting frameworks like react or vue for anything but sufficiently complex web apps.




Uh, what? Let’s take this very site. How do static pages work for logged-in users?


Strong statements without any substance behind them like yours are not helpful in my opinion.

So how about something a bit more nuanced: choose the right tool for the right job.


The whole SSR revival thing in frontend right now seems to exist only to game SEO and has no benefit for the user.


There is real speed gains to be had.

Typically your server is right next to the database. The end user isn't, so being able to give their first view being right, without an extra trip around is pretty good.


What do you think about Remix Run?
