Universal Rendering: Server-First, Client-Interactive
Universal Rendering sends a pre-built HTML page from the server for a fast load, then adds interactivity on the client. It's the default in frameworks like Nuxt for better SEO, but the footgun is writing code that crashes on the server by assuming a browser.
Universal Rendering sends a fully-built HTML page from the server for a fast load, then 'hydrates' it on the client to add interactivity. It’s the default in meta-frameworks like Nuxt, blending fast perceived performance and strong SEO with the feel of an SPA. The main footgun is writing code that assumes a browser environment; using APIs like `window` will crash the server-side render process before the page is even sent.
