React Server Components
Table of Contents
React's Server Components enable modern UX with a server-driven mental model. This is quite different from Server-side Rendering (SSR) of components and results in significantly smaller client-side JavaScript bundles.
When to Use
- Use this when you want to reduce client-side JavaScript by running data-fetching and rendering on the server
- This is helpful for improving performance with zero-JS-cost server-rendered components in Next.js 13+ App Router
