Server-Side Rendering and Universal React

React can render the same components on both server and client — the server sends pre-rendered HTML so the user sees content immediately, and the client takes over for interactivity. After this lesson you can render a React component to an HTML string with renderToString, serve it from an Express server, hydrate it in the browser, and explain why this improves perceived load time and search engine indexability.
