.... which is an SPA architecture.

> During rendering, Turbo Drive replaces the current <body> element outright and merges the contents of the <head> element. The JavaScript window and document objects, and the <html> element, persist from one rendering to the next.

So... it makes your app into an SPA.

Does SSR make React a MPA? If "MPA" limits us to only frameworks that have to do a full browser navigation for every interaction, it's a pointless discussion - "MPA" frameworks have had these sorts of optimizations for a decade+ (Hotwire is the newest, but there was Turbolinks before that and PJAX before that). Sure, I'll agree that React is a better approach than using the 2005 version of a framework, but that's not useful.

Architecturally, you'll still designing your application as though the user is performing a complete navigation, there's just Javascript present to optimize away some of the issues with that approach.
