description Hydrogen with Remix Data Loaders Overview
This pattern represents the gold standard for performance-critical e-commerce builds. By leveraging Remix's loaders and actions within Hydrogen, developers can pre-fetch all necessary product, collection, and variant data on the server edge before the component renders. This minimizes client-side waterfalls, resulting in near-instantaneous Time to Interactive (TTI) scores, making it ideal for high-volume, conversion-focused sites.

What is Shopify Hydrogen?
Shopify Hydrogen is a React-based framework designed specifically for building custom, performance-critical e-commerce storefronts. It is powered by Remix to leverage server-side rendering and edge computing.

Remix loaders allow developers to fetch necessary product, collection, and variant data directly on the server before the component renders. This minimizes client-side requests and drastically improves the load speed of an online store.
