RSC vs SSR Performance: Why LCP Optimization Fails Without Streaming and Suspense

Stop guessing why your RSC migration isn't shrinking bundle sizes. Learn the real performance impact of Streaming vs. Hydration on your LCP and interactivity 🚀 Nadia Makarevich (Senior Staff Engineer, performance researcher, and author of two books on React optimization) benchmarks SPA, SSR, and RSC to reveal the truth behind modern rendering strategies. What you will learn: 📊 LCP Benchmarks: Real metrics for RSC vs. SSR. ⚡ Interactivity Gap: Fixing the "visible but frozen" UI. 📦 Bundle Realities: Why RSC often fails to reduce JS. 🛰️ Streaming: Why Suspense is mandatory for performance. ✍️ Talk: Nadia Makarevich | I Measured React Server Components’ Performance So You Don’t Have To 🌎 This Talk was recorded at React Advanced London 2025, Website: https://reactadvanced.com/?utm_source...
