When to Use Static Generation v.s. Server-side Rendering

See section When to Use Static Generation v.s. Server-side Rendering (opens new window) of the Next.js tutorial:

1. You should ask yourself: "Can I pre-render this page ahead of a user's request?"
   • If the answer is yes, then you should choose Static Generation.
   • If you cannot pre-render a page ahead of user's requests and the page content changes on every request, use Server-side Rendering. It will be slower, but the pre-rendered page will always be up-to-date.
   • Use client-side JavaScript to populate frequently updated data (for instance: the view changes often in terms of the user and the internet connection is slow).
