I made my FE using CRA and BE is on flask.
I wanted to improve my website's SEO, so i used react-helmet.
But I was thinking to do SSR and improve SEO further.
Is there any way I can do SSR in my current CRA project? or if I can try to mimic SSR? Or should i go for prerender instead of SSR?
(for some reason i can not migrate to next.js for now. Also got to know that CRA is deprecated now :P).

Depends on how it is hosted. If it's simple SPA hosting from hosting providers, it's likely not possible.

I am using AWS
putting production build, and using gunicorn to run flask, on ec2
I am also using nginx

react 18/19 has better support for SSR, but IIRC, CRA doesn't support react 19. Try migrating to vite and using some plugin, otherwise, prerendering pages specifically for crawlers is the simplest

But i am confused which one to use (option 1 or option 3).
Because I am using my nginx to do both, serving my SPA and as a reverse proxy.
