# What is Client-side Rendering (CSR)?

**[Prismic](https://daily.dev/sources/Prismic)** · 8 min read · 41 upvotes · 3 comments

## Summary

Client-side rendering (CSR) is a JavaScript rendering method that uses JavaScript to render a website or application in the browser. It offloads a significant portion of the rendering process from the server to the client's browser, resulting in reduced server load and greater interactivity. However, it can lead to longer page load times and poor SEO. Popular frameworks for implementing client-side rendering include React and Vue.js.
