This is why my most recent website does its server-side rendering on the client. I'm not even being that sarcastic. We stream a subset of the user's data (1 mb at most) in the background and have a WASM client that has the exact same server views. On SPA events, the WASM blob intercepts a lot of requests and can instantly render. Makes a laggy connection feel pretty quick.

Why aren't those views just part of your SPA in the first place?

Are you counting mainframes with dumb terminals then smart terminals then PCs, early SSR websites then web 2.0, the multiseat/thinclient craze of the 2000s then computers becoming cheap enough to stick them to the back of monitors?
