I have to create an application where users will have their unique usernames and profiles like "website.com/JohnDoe". for that the client asked me to develop it in any good PHP framework and client also need an android/ios app (which he disclosed after 2nd meeting) . so I was(before 2nd meeting) going to use Laravel totally. but since he said he wanted a mobile app too, so I decided to use Laravel as backend API, for Web frontend I will use Reactjs and for Mobile I would use ReactNative ( I've done same before). since Laravel provides react support so my I was planning to use React within the laravel.

Then client said he is more concern about SEO of his website. so I had two options

  1. Use laravel as API provider only. and create ReactJS app totally separate from Laravel. In this case I will need Nodejs server. Then I thought If I have a nodejs server than why would I go for laravel, I could use Express.

  2. Use ReactJS within laravel and use any SSR package to cope with ssr.

If I am going for second option, can anyone point me to already live website which uses React Helmet SSR or Laravel-react-ssr?

Laravel react-ssr: https://github.com/spatie/laravel-server-side-rendering React Helmet-ssr: https://github.com/nfl/react-helmet#server-usage

I have read both, and I am too confused. I am beginner in both Laravel and React(node) so I am unable to understand what both are proposing.
