Disable SSR for specific queries about graphql-react

[jaydenseric]

I had considered this feature before, and decided against it.

A slow loading page is not as bad as having holes in the server side rendered content that affect SEO, etc. The best fix is to improve the speed of the slow queries; there is almost always something that can be done about it and a slow query on the client is still a problem to be fixed anyway.

In the meantime you should be able to skip SSR by setting loadOnMount to false, and calling load() manually on mount via a useEffect hook. Something like this:

const { load } = useGraphQL({
  loadOnMount: false,
  // Other options…
})

useEffect(() => {
  load()
}, [load])

I just free-handed that code, so I may have overlooked something 😅
