Because client-side rendering is free (at least to the site), while server-side rendering costs actual money.
That matters a lot when you start running things at scale.
- Uristqwerty 7y agoBy the time a web app has megabytes of JS and fetches just to show its initial content, is it actually saving money?
- krapp 7y agoIf most of that is cached in the browser, then theoretically, yes.
- pdimitar 7y agoBut then the average smartphone can't handle the JS and works so slow that the money you saved from not having a backend is never going to be recouped by your high bounce rate (i.e. people leaving the website out of frustration of its slowness).
