Server-Side Rendering (SSR)

Generating HTML on the server before sending it to the browser.

SSR delivers fully populated HTML on the first response, ensuring crawlers, social platforms and users see content immediately. SSR improves first contentful paint, time to interactive, social sharing and SEO indexing. Wix uses SSR for all dynamic page templates, ensuring fast indexing without the JavaScript rendering issues common to client-side frameworks.
