Abstract
Abstract Mandatory servers for universal applications that is accessible to number of users may be a deterrent for the corporation and excessive for small applications even though it could bring the compatibility advantages. Knowing that demand of web application increases to provide convenience and ease of use to the users, client side rendering comes to create software more fast and efficient. It has been done by redirecting the request towards an HTML file then the server will give messages without any content or a loading screen until the device takes all JavaScript to allow the browser compiling everything before displaying the content. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyse the comparison between client side and server side method in the respect of technical aspects in term of first content paint, speed index, time to interactive, first meaningful paint, first idle CPU and estimated input latency that present better performance with 2.1s, 2.0s, 2.2s, 2.1s, 2.2s and 20ms respectively on server side. It also provide better result based on Google Audit with 100% performance, 48% accessibility, 93% best practice and 89% of search engine optimization (SEO).
