SSR Rendering Introduction
Introduction to Server-Side Rendering in React Video Editor
Server-Side Rendering (SSR)
Server-Side Rendering provides a powerful approach to video processing in React Video Editor, offering improved performance, SEO benefits, and better user experience.
What is SSR Rendering?
SSR rendering processes video content on the server side before delivering it to the client. This approach offers several key advantages:
- Performance: Faster initial page loads and video processing
- SEO Optimization: Better search engine visibility
- Consistency: Predictable rendering across different devices
- Reduced Client Load: Less processing required on user devices
When to Use SSR Rendering
SSR rendering is ideal for:
- Content-heavy applications requiring SEO
- Applications with complex video processing requirements
- Projects needing consistent rendering across platforms
- Applications targeting users with limited device capabilities
- Projects requiring fast initial load times
Architecture Overview
SSR rendering works by:
- Request Handling: Server receives video processing requests
- Server Processing: Video content is processed on the server
- Response Generation: Processed video is included in the response
- Client Delivery: Complete page with processed video is sent to client
