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 -

Yup. It's preloading too much though, and needs to be updated to Preact X to get rid of like 90% of the remaining main thread work. WIP!
