Key Benefits of SuiteCommerce Rehydration
SuiteCommerce rehydration provides the following performance and user-experience benefits:
-
Faster first render - Pages can show meaningful content faster by displaying prerendered HTML right away. This can improve user-perceived load speed and web page performance metrics, such as First Contentful Paint (FCP) performance.
Note:FCP is how long it takes for a page to display any content.
-
Reduced flickering during first load - The main page view reuses the existing prerendered page structure rather than discarding or recreating it.
-
More stable page areas during hydration - Sections inside the page (for example, data-driven content views) can be kept in place so they don't flash or redraw as the page becomes interactive.
-
Better control of out-of-date content - Areas that might be stale (for example, prices or stock status) can be hidden or masked until fresh data is loaded, reducing the chance of displaying incorrect information. See How SuiteCommerce Rehydration Addresses Stale Content.
