How does React decide hydration priorities in React 18+?

Mid React
Quick Answer React 18 uses selective hydration: components inside Suspense boundaries are hydrated on demand. If the user interacts with a not-yet-hydrated component, React prioritizes hydrating that boundary immediately, even if other boundaries were registered first. User interaction signals high priority.

Answer

React performs selective hydration, prioritizing interactive components, visible elements, and network-ready content.
