This has nothing to do with React, this is a placeholder rendering strategy employed by many different frameworks and languages.The rendering strategies are orthogonal to the framework. I've written many websites entirely in React but you'd never know it, because they're all SSG. I've done hybrid SSR + SSG + placeholder/delayed load. I could have done all of that with .NET, Elixir, etc. too because it has nothing to do with the language/framework.
