SuiteCommerce Rehydration User Experience
SuiteCommerce Rehydration affects first loads of prerendered pages and the transition to the interactive SPA experience. It's designed to improve the initial load experience for pages reached from external entry points (for example, search results). Rehydration retains SPA navigation after the page loads.
After you enable SuiteCommerce Rehydration, shoppers may notice the following behaviors on first load:
-
Content appears sooner.
If a prerendered page is available, shoppers can see content right away as the SPA loads.
-
Smoother transition to interactivity, with less flicker.
The main page structure should not flicker or disappear during hydration. Events and client-side behaviors should work after rehydration.
-
Stable content sections during hydration.
Child content sections (for example, listing and data views) should remain visible and stable instead of being removed and re-added.
-
Stale-content safeguards.
Some fields that are more likely to become outdated during SPA loading are handled differently. For example, pricing can be temporarily blurred until the latest value is available, and out-of-stock messaging can be temporarily hidden until current availability is known.
