SSR was eating up the RAM of our production server like 7.5 GB for Node and 0.5 for our Elixir backend. That was insane. We decided to shutdown SSR and check if anybody would notice. Apparently they didn't. However that webapp is a service that customers use from their computers in their office, not something mobile. We expect fast connections.

I'm fairly confident "SSR" itself wasn't the culprit. Maybe there was something in the way your developers were implementing the site within it, but just with pages as rendering targets? Doubtful!
