| 10 | +We're thrilled to announce a major update: [React on Rails Pro](https://www.shakacode.com/react-on-rails-pro/) now supports **React Server Components** and **Server‑Side Rendering (SSR) Streaming**. These features have driven significant performance gains in real‑world applications—here’s how they can transform yours. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## 🎯 What This Means for Your Applications |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +* **Faster load times** |
| 15 | +* **Smaller JavaScript bundles** |
| 16 | +* **Better Core Web Vitals** |
| 17 | +* **Improved SEO** |
| 18 | +* **Smoother user interactions** |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +## 🔥 React Server Components |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +Server Components execute on the server and stream HTML to the client—no extra JavaScript in your bundle. Real‑world results include: |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +* **62% reduction** in client‑side bundle size on productonboarding.com when migrating to RSC [[1]] |
| 25 | +* **63% improvement** in Google Speed Index on the RSC version of the same site [[1]] |
| 26 | +* **52% smaller** JavaScript codebase and Lighthouse scores rising from \~50 to 90+ on GeekyAnts.com [[2]] |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## 🌊 SSR Streaming |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +SSR Streaming sends HTML to the browser in chunks as it’s generated, enabling progressive rendering: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +* **30% faster** full‑page load times at Hulu by combining streaming SSR with Server Components [[3]] |
| 33 | +* Popular libraries like styled‑components v3.1.0 have introduced streaming SSR support as the next generation of React app rendering [[4]] |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +## 📊 Core Web Vitals & TTI Improvements |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +* **60% faster** Time to Interactive on Meta’s developer portal after adopting RSC (from 3.5 s to \~1.4 s) [[5]] |
| 38 | +* **45% quicker** First Contentful Paint in the same migration [[5]] |
| 39 | +* **50% lower** server response time with Server Components [[5]] |
| 40 | +* **15% improvement** in Core Web Vitals and **23% reduction** in Time to First Byte at Airbnb after RSC migration [[5]] |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +--- |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +Adopting these features in React on Rails Pro will help you deliver faster, leaner, and more SEO‑friendly applications with fewer client‑side resources. |
