It is not true, the slow part of web applications is loading over the network, server side rendering puts a dependency on the network and is therefore vastly slower.
With service workers and client side storage you can get to display at least a shell, sometimes the entire UI without touching the network. It is a lot faster
- daliwali 10y agoWhere do you think that JS in a web page comes from? Not from the network? Service workers are a cache (and background process), and you still have to consider cache misses. Even if you have a giant JS app and cache it, users still have to download all the JS to actually work offline no matter what.
