Demystifying Client & Server Rendering in SvelteKit

on YouTube ↗25m

" summary

SvelteKit lets routes mix SSR, CSR and prerendering so you can pre-render marketing pages at build time (pre-render true + CSR false), server-render content pages for better SEO and faster LCP via server load results, and make admin areas client-heavy (SSR false for SPA-like admin). Server-only logic lives in +server.js load functions and form actions, API routes proxy third-party calls, and deploy uses adapter-static or adapter-node or platform-specific adapters. Hydration adds cost but speeds perceived load.
