Server-Side Rendering at the Edge
Render full-stack pages on the fly at the edge for fast first paint, dynamic content, and SEO-friendly HTML.
Why SSR at the Edge?
Server-Side Rendering (SSR) generates HTML on each request instead of shipping a blank shell to the browser.
Running SSR at the edge means:
- HTML is built close to the user, low latency
- Great first paint and SEO
- Personalized, dynamic content per request
SSR vs Static Sites
Static pages are pre-built and cached, fast but identical for everyone.
SSR builds HTML per request, ideal for content that depends on the user, location, or live data.
Many edge apps mix both.
