Server-side rendering (SSR) is a technique that allows Angular applications to be rendered on the server before being sent to the client. This has a number of benefits, including improved SEO, faster initial app load, and better app performance. In this talk, I will talk about what SSR is all about and how developers can make use of this technique to improve their Angular apps. I will also be talking about what is new in Angular v18 with regards to Hydration for SSR.
