Server Side Rendering using Express.js And EJS Template Engine
Server-side rendering involves generating HTML on the server and sending it to the client, as opposed to generating it on the client side using JavaScript. This improves initial load time, and SEO, and enables dynamic content generation. Express is a popular web application framework for NodeJS, and EJS is a simple templating language that lets you generate HTML with plain JavaScript.
