" summary

React 18 uses SSR streaming plus Suspense to stream placeholders (spinners) then replace them with HTML so pages show content before all data or JS finishes loading, and hydration becomes interruptible so a clicked button can be prioritized over a still‑hydrating sidebar. Server components force dependency splits (client components cannot import server ones) and require marking files with use client for gradual migration. Library authors face compatibility pain but meta‑framework telemetry helps measure adoption.
