I’ve seen some truly shocking SSR implementations - like MB+ of hydration state being sent to the browser Even though one I saw recently only had 100KB ish of JSON in the HTML I struggled to see why it wasn’t just build using straightforward markup

Have seen similar so often that I can sort of smell a big Redux blob just by looking at the waterfall; shows up as massively delayed TTFB + huge HTML payload

Do y’all have any examples of sites that get SSR & hydration right?

Having trouble thinking of any. Some Preact sites might be light enough to do this well. Any pointers @_developit?3 replies 0 retweets 1 like
Google infra (Boq/Wiz) manages to do this better than most by doing per action splitting/loading. Unsure about external tools.
Loading seems to be taking a while.
