“Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.” — Antoine de Saint-Exupery

We all ❤️ SPA. In any shape it is. Even does not matter which platform React, Vue, Angular or even Vanilla coding was used for.

Get higher rankings by feeding crawler a static HTML of your Javascript website, without compromising your customers’ experience? That’s the idea gathering us here.

Yesterday and Today

Server-Side Rendering (SSR) worked well for decades. Deliver already parsed HTML data to the client-side. Then the browser easily displaid all the stuff on UI without any additional job. If something has been changed, the page needs to be fully reloaded and reinitialized from the backend.

😳 Wait for a second, but I’m in love with Single Page development! That’s should not be your concern since SSR perfectly works with SPA. You can find a lot of frameworks like next.js or create everything from scratch even. So you will always get a static website with SEO support in mind. The World is saved 🌈
