Single page applications in their pure form have one conceptual problem: the JavaScript code runs in one single "empty" HTML page.Search engines like the Google Bot ignore JavaScript code and see nothing but a blank page. Search engine optimization (SEO) becomes impossible!What is more, the user experience suffers because of this: Before the user can interact with our app, the code must be downloaded and rendered. This extends loading time and makes users frustrated.Luckily, there are some strategies to master these challenges:- Pre-rendering with headless browser- Server side rendering (SSR)- Static pre-renderingIn this talk, the Angular expert and book author Ferdinand Malcher will introduce you to the concepts and ideas of server side rendering with Angular.We will talk about possible solutions and go through specific examples with Angular. The extensive tooling around "Angular Universal" greatly helps us on our way. You will learn how the Angular server platform works and how you can set up a server-rendered application on your own.
