The Performance Cost of Server Side Rendered React on Node.js

Re:The Performance Cost of Server Side Rendered React on Nod... by rhizome on Monday November 20, 2017 @05:33PM (#15743957)

initial app load time for un-cookied users with cold browser caches is a critical metric, since it largely determines whether they'll keep using your app

This is "bounce before document.ready()?" How does it compare to "bounce before ad networks/API calls finish" and "bounce before end of autoplay video?"

I'm thinking that with all the other API goo in many mainstream/mass-media sites, "initial app load time" is something users are probably pretty tolerant of, unless "load time" includes stuff beyond the page becoming interactive.

Since we're talking about SSR which happens before anything else, latency is going to push out all load-time metrics equally.

It's all relative. Presumably you're competing on some level with those mainstream/mass-media sites, so users will punish/reward you if your site takes more/less time to load than average.
