SSR (Angular Universal) renders the app's HTML on the server for the initial request, improving first paint, SEO, and perceived performance. The client then hydrates the markup to become interactive. Modern Angular has built-in hydration support.

Read the code

Enable hydration
// main.ts (server-rendered app with client hydration)
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { provideClientHydration } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app/app.component';

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
  providers: [
    provideClientHydration(),   // reuse server DOM instead of re-rendering
  ],
});
// Scaffold SSR with: ng add @angular/ssr
