Streaming SSR & Suspense Boundaries

Deliver instant TTFB with loading.tsx skeletons and stream slow database chunks progressively.

What You Will Learn in This Lesson

  • How HTTP streaming delivers early page shells instantly to the browser
  • Automatic loading skeletons with loading.tsx
  • Granular async component wrapping with <Suspense fallback={<Skeleton />}>

Introduction & Core Concept

Streaming allows you to break down the page's HTML into chunks and progressively stream those chunks from the server to the client.
WHY DOES THIS MATTER IN THE REAL WORLD?

Fast parts of the page render in 5ms while slow database widgets stream in progressively without blocking the whole page.
