Where should a page render?
The same page, delivered three ways. Pick a strategy, then change the network and the API speed.
Server-side rendering
HTML is built on the server for every request, next to the API.
Fresh data on every request and content early, but the server waits on the API first, and the page can look ready before it responds.
