Hey there, fellow web enthusiasts! đź‘‹
Before we dive in, I wanted to let you know that this article is an introduction article series about rendering patterns on my portfolio. If you're curious, you can check out the full, chatty version on my website. It's written like a fun conversation, making it super easy to follow along. But for now, let's keep it simple and straightforward here on dev.to!
Now, let's talk about web rendering patterns!
What Are Web Rendering Patterns?
Imagine you're building a house. You have different ways to construct it, right? Some methods are quick, others are fancy, and some are a mix of both. Web rendering patterns are kind of like that, but for websites.
They're different ways to build and show web pages. Each way has its own good points and not-so-good points. Knowing these patterns helps you pick the best way to build your website.
Why Should You Care?
Understanding these patterns is important because they affect:
- How fast your website loads
- How smooth it feels to use
- How well search engines can find your site
- How easy it is to update your site
The Main Rendering Patterns
Here are the main patterns we'll be looking at:
Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR)
Streaming Server-Side Rendering
Some Important Terms
Before we go further, let's learn some key words:
- Time To First Byte (TTFB): How quickly the server starts sending data
- Time to Interactive (TTI): When you can start using the website
- First Contentful Paint (FCP): When you first see something on the page
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): When the biggest part of the page shows up
- Pre-rendering: Making web pages ahead of time
- Meta Frameworks: Special tools that make building websites easier
- Isomorphic Rendering: A way to make websites fast and interactive at the same time
Wrapping Up
Understanding these patterns is super helpful if you want to make great websites. Each pattern has its own use, and knowing when to use them can make your websites much better.
This is just the start of our journey into rendering patterns. If you want to learn more about each pattern, with examples and how to use them, check out my full guide on my portfolio site.
Remember, the key is not just knowing these patterns, but understanding when to use them. Happy website building! 🚀
