SSR is a server-side content rendering process in which Googlebot receives a ready-made page code. This significantly improves the speed of First Paint and First Contentful Paint, which is extremely important in light of changes in Google's algorithms that take Page Experience into account as a ranking factor.

However, this approach also has disadvantages. The process of generating pages on the server takes time, which can lead to an increase in TTFB (time to first byte). This is the timeout that can affect the overall performance of the site.

To achieve better results, you can use a hybrid approach, combining SSR for some pages and dynamic rendering for others. This method is actively used by large services, which confirms its effectiveness in real conditions.

Dynamic rendering

Dynamic rendering is another solution that is officially supported by search engines and allows you to send a static version of the site to search bots and a page with JavaScript to users. This method is not perceived as cloaking if the content on the page is the same for users and bots.

Dynamic and server rendering play an important role in website promotion, especially for Yandex. As you can see, Yandex is not yet that effective at indexing JavaScript content, which makes SSR and dynamic rendering important tools for successful SEO promotion.
