Pretty sure that ship has sailed in 2015. It’s good to see people focusing on SSR again but that’s just an extra step and it’s hard to mess up. Too many developers don’t think it’s worth it. Just try to visit any top websites without JS, even just to read them.



I do this all the time because a couple of websites display all the text and then there is a JS that erases all the text and replaces it with a stupid paywall, whereas if I disable JS I can just read it.
