Blazor Server applications can be pre-rendered, which improves initial load times and SEO. However, the combination of pre-rendering and circuit persistence can introduce subtle complexities. This article discusses how pre-rendering interacts with circuit persistence. It highlights potential issues where state might not be correctly initialized during the pre-rendering phase or when the circuit is established. Then, it will guide developers on how to properly manage state during the pre-rendering lifecycle, ensuring a seamless transition from the pre-rendered HTML to the fully interactive Blazor application. This includes strategies for avoiding race conditions and managing state initialization to provide a consistent user experience, even when pre-rendering is enabled.
