Fair, some websites do need JavaScript though. Such as webapps. Could they be server-side rendered?

SSR is a thing and could be used to render most content remotely without pissing off readers.

They know ssr is a thing which is why they used that term. But ssr produces a static page or static component, where webapps often require some level of interactivity for their basic functionality, such as reacting to server events. They’re asking if that can be achieved with ssr
