When Are Single-Page Applications Not the Best Choice?
Single-page applications (SPAs) are popular for their ability to provide a smooth, dynamic user experience. They update content without requiring full page reloads, creating a more app-like feel. However, as with any technology, there are instances where SPAs might not be the optimal solution. A recent discussion on Reddit [1](https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/165cmcy/when_do_single_page_applications_spas_become_not/) highlighted some key considerations regarding SPA usage. New developers exploring React, a popular SPA framework, asked about situations where SPAs might fall short. One respondent pointed out that SPAs can become complex and challenging to maintain as the submission grows. It was noted that SSR (server-Side Rendering) might be a better option for SEO purposes, as SPAs can face difficulties with search engine crawlers.## Archyde Interview: “Vermiglio” Aims for Oscar Gold
