1) Vercel serverless functions, or AWS lambdas, have a cold boot-up time after a period of inactivity. So basically the site goes to sleep if you're using SSR 2) I've noticed their SSLs don't work on older browsers (not that it's a huge deal, but I have some old macs which block their site, and any site hosted with them)

Hey there, sorry about this experience. You can now use Edge Functions on Vercel, which have almost no cold boot: https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/functions/edge-functions

Would love to hear more about the SSL issues. Would you mind sending more info to lee at vercel .com?

Sounds good, I'll check out those edge functions. I do really like that you guys have a free tier! And yes, I can send over some more info on the SSL stuff (mac model/year, browser version, etc)
