This Talk introduces server components in React, which provide an intermediate format for rendering and offer advantages for both client-side and server-side rendering. Server components reduce bundle size on the client and improve search engine optimization. They abstract the rendering process, allowing for faster rendering and flexibility in choosing where to render components. While server components are still in the experimental stage, Next.js is a good starting point to try them out.

This Talk discusses the journey of data fetching libraries in React's new streaming SSL, focusing on the use of suspense for data fetching. It covers the backstory of suspense and data fetching, the plan and green light for its implementation, challenges with Next.js app router and SSR, data transport and flushing timing, the importance of timing and data transport, delayed rehydration and stream closure, the need for remaining data and required functionalities, challenges faced by vanilla React users, and audience questions about React server components.

Google processes billions of searches per day, but less than 10% of websites get visitors from Google. SEO is user-focused and requires continuous improvement. JavaScript used to be a challenge for search engines, but now they can handle it. Server-side rendering is a solution for the challenges of single-page applications. Good SEO includes HTTPS, mobile friendliness, core web vitals, and handling URL changes. Meta tags and accessibility are important for SEO. Google Search Console provides valuable insights for tracking keyword performance.

Shivai Lamba presents server-side rendering using WebAssembly. Learn how to enable server-side rendering with WebAssembly using a Create React app. See the changes in the app before and after enabling server-side rendering. Support for React 18 and the ability to create streaming applications using WebAssembly. Connect with me on Twitter at TheCloudWeb for more information on WebAssembly.

Liad Yosef discusses the importance and evolution of server-side rendering, highlighting its benefits such as improved performance and SEO. He explores different rendering strategies and the challenges of hydration in React. He introduces SuspenseSSL in React 18 as a solution for fetching data in advance and selectively hydrating components. He also mentions React Server Component as a game changer for reducing bundle size in rendering with React.

The Talk discusses the challenges of handling DOM manipulation with JavaScript and the performance issues that arise from using SPAs. It explores the solution of server-side rendering (SSR) to address SEO concerns but notes that bundle size remains an issue. Code splitting is introduced as a way to load content dynamically, but it presents challenges for SSR. The speaker suggests a solution using vanilla.js that solves the problem without scalability issues.

Gatsby V4 introduces deferred static generation (DSG), combining the benefits of static site generation (SSG) and server-side rendering (SSR). This approach allows for faster builds and a more deterministic cache. Gatsby V4 also includes features such as parallel query running and LMDB for enhanced performance. The focus is on integrations and improving the developer experience (DX) in the future.

Today's Talk discussed the impact of Core Web Vitals on SEO and website performance. Strategies for improving Core Web Vitals include using Next.js, optimizing images and fonts, and measuring performance with tools like Google Lighthouse. The hybrid approach of Next.js allows for flexibility in rendering applications. Recent releases of Next.js have focused on performance improvements. Next.js Commerce offers an all-in-one starter kit for e-commerce. Vercel provides a tool for measuring real user experiences and identifying potential causes of performance issues.
