A Webpack loader that performs build-time prerendering of client-side applications, producing static HTML instead of an empty bootstrapping page. It integrates tightly with html-webpack-plugin and supports both DOM-based and string-based rendering.

Use cases

• prerender a single-page app to static HTML at build time
• improve first contentful paint for a webpack-built site
• generate static HTML from an SPA for SEO
• integrate prerendering with html-webpack-plugin templates
• render app HTML during webpack builds without a separate server

When to choose

• you already build with Webpack and use html-webpack-plugin
• you want SSR-like static HTML without running a Node server at runtime
• your app is mostly static and doesn't need per-request server rendering

When to avoid

• you need dynamic server-side rendering per request
• your project doesn't use Webpack
• you need a maintained solution with active updates
