+# Server Side Rendering
+
+ReactCasts, episode 12.
+
+Server Side rendering means rendering your React components on the Server, and sending HTML pages pre-populated - This can lead to a better user experience and Search Engine discoverability.
+
+On the browser, when the javascript runs, react will realise that the component is already there and take over for front-end interactivity, skipping the initial render.
