What is the difference between Streaming SSR and Traditional SSR?

Mid React
Quick Answer Traditional SSR renders the full HTML on the server, sends it all, then hydrates the entire page before it's interactive. Streaming SSR (React 18) sends HTML chunks as they're ready, starting with the shell, then streaming in Suspense boundary content as their data resolves. Users see content faster and can interact sooner.

Answer

Traditional SSR sends HTML only after full rendering. Streaming SSR streams chunks as they are ready, improving first paint and user experience.
