Async Data with Nuxt.js

It can be difficult and cumbersome to set up a custom system to fetch asynchronous data before you serve your application to your users and render everything on the server-side. Since JavaScript was designed to mainly run client-side, it comes with a few unwanted traits. Nuxt.js has made it breathtakingly easy to fetch asynchronous data and render our entire application on the server-side before we serve it to our users. In this course, you will learn a few different methods to fetch asynchronous data and what to be careful with. Secondly, you'll learn how to fetch asynchronous data and render your Nuxt applications server-side. **Server-side rendering brings invaluable performance and SEO benefits.** Even though it is impressively smooth to fetch and render async data server-side with Nuxt.js, you need to know the basics of Nuxt.
