SSR in React used to be a ⚡ significant tradeoff: instant paint and great SEO - but painfully slow interactivity.
At @Wix, hydration was a huge bottleneck. Then React 18's Suspense API changed everything.
With Selective Hydration, we hydrated only what mattered:
✅ 20% less JavaScript in the browser
✅ 40% improvement in real-world responsiveness (INP)
✅ No rewrite or new frameworks - just smarter hydration
This story, by @gilecks, might even make @addyosmani proud - less JavaScript, less browser work, and happier users.

Winning the Performance Race / @gilecks - @Reversim 2024
Over the past two years, we’ve dramatically improved @Wix website performance, beating all of our competitors in #CoreWebVitals.
This project was a company-wide effort to finally solve the number one user complaint in the company - Live site #performance.
The results were amazing, improving Wix websites from having less than 10% green #CWV sites to 60% green CWV sites in less than 2 years.
In this talk, Gil takes a deep dive into the design changes that we implemented to achieve this significant improvement, and explains why and how those solutions could be applied in any web application to achieve similar results.
He explores the biggest performance issues that we had in the past, and how we addressed them in our new architecture. Watch:

@bengreenfield Thanks !! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 do you have the same opinion about leafy greens? Meaning that leafy greens have more pros than cons when it comes to hormises? And getting them into your diet would result in an healthier body for most people? (For example kale, spinach, lettuce, etc…)
