Confused about SSR and Static Generation

[serenahappyhacking]

Recently I need to make a static official website with nextjs，and I am asked to do with SSR for a better SEO. But nextjs tell us that Static Generation pre-rendering is faster than SSR . So how should i choose now ? Anybody could help me to explain about these concepts ? Thanks so much !

My Product Requirements： a static official website, SSR, better SEO

In your case the the "SSR" requirement is not really a requirement for server-rendering on-demand. They're asking for pre-rendering so that the HTML is sent to the user, both static generation and server-side rendering give this result.

You can read about pre-rendering here: https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/pages#pre-rendering

Got it! Thanks a lot, Mr. Tim~ 😋😉

A complete Sever-side Rendering process is: client request -> server route -> server component rendering -> server back。
Static Generation render component at build time. So a complete process is: client request -> server route -> server back static resources。
