HackerNews, the site you're reading right now, uses server-side rendering. Even for voting. And yet it's incredibly fast and more usable than most SPAs. I'm sure you've also used StackOverflow at some point, which is another incredibly fast and responsive SSR site.

There are also many "partial" update mechanisms from XHR/fetch + innerHTML to slim frameworks like AlpineJS/HTMX to newer SSR live rendering like Blazor/LiveView/Hotwire.
