I have been working in nextjs since recently. I previously programmed in react, but the project requires me to use nextjs.

Briefly the application looks like this

• Home page (simple backend data form ), here I will 100% use SSR
• Admin panel (/admin)

And here I am wondering whether to use SSR or CSR in admin page, I find conflicting information. If I use CSR in case of admin panel, will it somehow affect SEO? (I think it shouldn't, since the site requires a login anyway). I read that if the site requires authentication then there is no point in rendering the data on the server side. But on Reddit someone also wrote that simple admin pages can also be safely created using SSR. If so, does it give any advantages?

Or, however, would it be worthwhile to separate it into 2 different applications with the annotation (admin.mywebsite) in the domain? and what is the correct approach to such a problem? I care about the best possible SEO, hence my questions.

If you don't need the casual user to see the admin panel, you can simply ignore it in your robots.txt file and use any preferred method (CSR or SSR), and it won't impact your SEO.

However, in the case you do want users to see the admin panel (for any future viewers), SSR is much more scrapable by web robots and is preferred for SEO.
