Front End Rendering Strategies - A comparative study

Master Thesis for the master study programs offered by the Departament of Informatics, Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Tirana.

Abstract

This thesis aims to conduct a comparative study of front-end rendering strategies, analyzing their performance, scalability, and user experience implications. Students will explore various approaches, including server-side rendering (SSR), client-side rendering (CSR), static site generation (SSG), and hybrid models. 

The study will involve designing experiments and developing prototypes to benchmark these techniques across different use cases, assessing their impact on load times, interactivity, and search engine optimization (SEO). The findings will provide insights into selecting the most suitable rendering strategy based on application requirements and industry best practices.
