Some of the information in this article is misleading (at least how I understand the wording). For example,
Slower page rendering
SPAs injects and renders each page faster as the Javascript is initially loaded when accessing the website for the first time. Since SSR fetches the whole page, the rendering will be somewhat slower.
Actually they use SSR to improve first paint. It depends on the setup of course, but generally it takes more time to download JS and render the page than download HTML and CSS. As soon as page is loaded it would be faster (typically) to change it with JS instead of navigating with the browser.
