# Server-side rendering
{doctitle} is the process of generating fully rendered HTML on the server before sending it to the browser.

In SSR, the server processes the requested page, executes necessary logic, and returns a complete HTML document to the client.
This improves initial load performance, SEO, and accessibility by displaying content faster compared to client-side rendering.
Once the page loads, [hydration](https://docs.coveo.com/en/p2ae0404/) restores interactivity by attaching JavaScript event listeners to the static content.
