This is very true for me too. I used Vue frontend and php backend, it makes it more fun to work on the frontend, but it's definitely slower for me compared to just rendering everything serverside.

The more I learned, the slower I became. I think everyone who has been doing webdev for some years have experienced that.

In my recent project, I try to do as much as possible through serverside rendering, obviously there are things that still require JavaScript. I just extract those out as components. Right now I’m using WebComponents, but you can easily use Vue if you wanted.

Just treat it as a secondary layer for HTML, not the primary one.
