What is server-side rendering, and why does it decide whether Google can see you?

Server-side rendering means the page arrives with its words already in it. The alternative sends a nearly empty page plus instructions for the browser to fill it in. People see no difference. Search engines often do, and a page that arrives empty can be indexed as empty.

This is the most expensive invisible problem in AI-built sites. Somebody builds a beautiful site, waits three months, and finds it nowhere on Google, and no amount of keyword work helps because the words were never in the page a crawler received.

You can check it yourself in under a minute and you should. Open your live site, view the page source, and use your browser's find to search that source for a sentence you wrote. If it is not there, search engines are largely looking at an empty page.

Ura's paved shapes render on the server, so the words are in the page before any script runs. That is not a feature so much as a consequence of building ordinary code and deploying it properly.
