SSR usually means doing the front end JS browser render on the server, not just the more generic task of producing an initial HTML from a server.

The idea is the same code can work on front end and backend. On NextJS it will run your React on the backend but useEffects will not be called. Just the initial render is saved and piped to the browser.
