Install best React framework option for good SEO without a server #17

Definition of Ready

Should investigate for the best rendering strategy, keeping in mind this is a simple static site (so, no Remix or SSR):

Client side rendering using React.
Static site generator using Gatsby or Next.js.

Definition of Done

[ ] Should have a build script that generates static files for the site.
[ ] The built project should work without a server.
[ ] Linters and tests should still work

Decision: SSG using Next.js.

According to this post (React SEO: Best Practices to Make It SEO-Friendly), not all search engines (like Bing) do not fully support JavaScript rendering. For such reasons, standalone React is not chosen because it does client side rendering leading to poor SEO on search engines that are not Google.

Next.js has documentation (Static HTML Export) to enable SSG on build time.
