About the Rendering Context API

The Rendering Context API tells you where, and for whom, the page is rendering. Use it to skip code that needs a browser while the page renders on the server, such as reading window or localStorage, and to render a component's full content for search engine crawlers, such as reviews that site visitors load later.

With the Rendering Context API, you can:

• Check whether code is running without a browser window, such as while the page renders on the server.
• Check whether the page is rendering for a search engine crawler.

Use cases

• Render content that search engines can index
• Skip browser-only work while the page renders on the server
