Server side rendering means the server converts a template into a fully formed html page by pulling layouts and partials together, adding JS/css assets, interpolating dynamic sections with data from the database. The response to the browser is html ready to parse and display. Client side means the layouts, templates, partials, components are on the client and are stitched together their. The server only send data and the client app handles interpolation and generating the html.
