SuiteCommerce Rehydration
SuiteCommerce rehydration improves your website's first-load performance by showing shoppers prerendered content right away, so they see meaningful content sooner. It then transitions the page to a fully interactive single-page application (SPA). It attaches client-side JavaScript to the existing page structure (the Document Object Model, or DOM) instead of replacing it. This helps avoid visible flicker and other visual disruptions during the transition.
No action is required to benefit from SuiteCommerce rehydration. Rehydration happens automatically on supported public pages, including sites that use custom themes or extensions. You only need to customize your implementation if you want to control how specific dynamic content appears in prerendered cached output, such as by blurring, hiding, or excluding content before the SPA finishes loading. See Recommended Approach for Custom Components.
