The claim that server side rendering is faster than client side rendering is interesting.. How come one machine(the server), is better than 1000 machines(the client)?

Perhaps most significant is that a lot of data, state that is needed to render the content doesn’t have to be transferred to the client?

If you need to show data to the client then you need to transmit it, either in JSON or HTML. If you don't need to show it then why are you transmitting it?

But realistically the amount of data is likely small for most applications and it's probably not the bottleneck.
