pre-rendering
Computing before display
Pre-rendering is generating content in advance rather than on demand.
In web development, pre-rendering creates HTML pages at build time so they load instantly for users: Pre-rendering improved our site's performance dramatically.
In gaming and video, pre-rendering means computing graphics beforehand rather than in real time, allowing higher visual quality at the cost of interactivity.
