Hello everyone,

I have a strong background in Angular and I'm wondering if it's a wise choice for building a static website. I've heard that lighter tools are generally preferred, but I'm comfortable with Angular and appreciate its features.

I'm particularly concerned about performance, SEO, and loading times. Are there specific tips I should consider to optimize these aspects when using Angular for a static website?

Additionally, what are the pros and cons you've encountered when using Angular for projects of this kind? Would it be wiser to explore lighter alternatives?

Thank you in advance for your advice and insights!

Should be no problem to use Angular for this. Create a SSR app and make sure to pre-render the routes (believe that's default behavior). Since you will be serving pre-rendered HTML, load times should be fast and SEO should also be no problem (your rendered HTML already exists on the server). Depending on your use case, you could have a look at Analog which offers additional support for things like markdown content.

Thank you for your reply. @topaz lava

Does this apply to larger applications?
Is the CSR doomed to disappear or does it have advantages in certain cases? If so, which ones?
