SMRTR summary

Modern CSS capabilities like View Transitions API and Speculation Rules now enable smooth, app-like navigation between real web pages without complex JavaScript frameworks. This challenges the need for Single Page Applications (SPAs) in many cases, as native browser features can provide seamless transitions and instant navigation more efficiently. Multi-page sites using these new CSS techniques can outperform SPAs in speed, SEO, and user experience while maintaining simpler, more maintainable code.
