    SPAs offer a more app like experience, allowing for seamless transitions between views. Multi page sites can feel more fragmented.

    SPAs take longer to load initially. However after that initial load, navigation is very quick and they are more interactive. Think of a desktop app but on the browser. Traditional multipage websites excel at quick loading the initial page, think about blogs, e-commerce, news sites. However, they are less interactive and navigating within the website is slower. Development and deployment varies depending on the tools used.

    SPAs load a single HTML page and dynamically update content without refreshing the entire page, making them faster and smoother for users.
