Modern web development frameworks like Next.js, Gatsby.js, and Remix utilize pre-rendering and hydration to build efficient web applications. Traditional server-side rendering had performance and scalability issues, leading to the development of single-page applications (SPA) that rely heavily on JavaScript. However, SPAs introduced their own challenges, such as slow initial loads on mobile devices. Pre-rendering, through either Server-Side Rendering (SSR) or Static Site Generation (SSG), generates HTML in advance to improve SEO and load times. Hydration then adds interactivity by loading JavaScript. Frameworks like Next.js and Gatsby.js enable these techniques to enhance web performance while maintaining interactivity.
