SSR in terms of webdev means what this post describes: generating HTML on the server. “Rendering” is a bit of a misnomer; a more apt title would be “server side HTML generation”, but that’s a bit long.
The alternative to SSR is CSR (client side rendering). Think React SPAs.
- Animats 5y agoI know, I know, the webcrap crowd uses that terminology. Nobody else does. As someone who spends most of their time right now inside of 3D game-type renderers, I have a hard time thinking of cranking out HTML as "rendering". What does that crowd call the part of the browser that does layout and display?
