Does Server Side Rendering Work?

I noticed here: https://www.wix.com/corvid/reference/wix-window.rendering.html#renderCycle it says that renderCycle does not work as intended and always returns 1. So does that mean using SSR doesn’t work?

If RenderCycle is listed as Deprecated, then why are you still using it?

API Info:
Deprecated: Gets the current cycle in the rendering process.
Deprecation note: the renderCycle property no longer works as expected. It will always return 1.

Rollout
Server-side rendering will be rolled out in two parts.

  1. Beginning today, you will be able to use the new Rendering API. However, sites will still not use server-side rendering.

  2. Two weeks from now we will begin rendering sites server-side.
    Use the time between now and 11 March to get your site ready for server-side rendering if needed.

That was all released last year. I used it on a lot of sites. I never saw an announcment for it. So I just hope it still works or I’ll have to go fix a bunch of my client’s websites :weary:
