Interesting. Keep an eye on this. preact looks to be awesome in SSR perf.

If performance matters to you then preact is the way.

We need to get a full preact branch going.

I'm having some issues trying to make preact working with React Router v4, but I hope to find some hacky way to glue those two together this weekend.

We may have to look at alternatives in terms of the router.

We can solve the SSR slow render times for React, with caching, for example:

That is super cool @maximblack! Thank you. I love it's pragmatic approach of profiling and then configuring. Great to have the props call in too.

There are tons of considerations when optimising your app for SSR. It would be great to get a readme section going for it.

Just something to look forward to regarding SSR improvements:

More specifically Dan's comment facebook/react#6420 (comment)

@elodszopos That is all very vague unfortunately. It's a pity that ssr is not high on the priority list of the core team 😞

React Fiber is definitely going to help! :) I am very much looking forward to it.

Here is a great video in which Dan and Andrew explain React Fiber really well.

caching is still slow, it takes 20ms-30ms still after caching which is chocking the server because it's sync and not async rendertostring @maximblack had any tips for that?

Another interesting addition...

@voidale ensure that NODE_ENV=production on server else you get development edition of react running for SSR renders.
