I don't see a problem with server side rendering if you use a CDN to cache the results especially since your content is quite static?

At this rate next year you'll have to rebuild your blog every two weeks. https://media3.giphy.com/me...

aye well it never seemed to work that way with wordpress :( I think NextJS does some clever thngs with prefetching too under the covers which makes the whole process feel super snappy

I'm sure Wordpress is not the greatest tool for a simple blog anymore. But server-side rendering is not a bad idea in general as long as you can cache the result of the rendering for a long time and with a blog that should be quite easy.
