缺点: 从技术上讲，SPA的设计和初始开发是复杂的，可以避免。不使用这种SPA的其他原因可能是:

a) Security: Single Page Application is less secure as compared to traditional pages due to cross site scripting(XSS). b) Memory Leak: Memory leak in JavaScript can even cause powerful Computer to slow down. As traditional websites encourage to navigate among pages, thus any memory leak caused by previous page is almost cleansed leaving less residue behind. c) Client must enable JavaScript to run SPA, but in multi-page application JavaScript can be completely avoided. d) SPA grows to optimal size, cause long waiting time. Eg: Working on Gmail with slower connection.

除此之外，其他架构的限制是导航数据丢失，浏览器中没有导航历史记录，以及使用selenium难以进行自动化功能测试。

让我们来看看最流行的SPA网站之一，GMail。

1. SPA非常适合响应性非常强的网站:

Server-side rendering is not as hard as it used to be with simple techniques like keeping a #hash in the URL, or more recently HTML5 pushState. With this approach the exact state of the web app is embedded in the page URL. As in GMail every time you open a mail a special hash tag is added to the URL. If copied and pasted to other browser window can open the exact same mail (provided they can authenticate). This approach maps directly to a more traditional query string, the difference is merely in the execution. With HTML5 pushState() you can eliminate the #hash and use completely classic URLs which can resolve on the server on the first request and then load via ajax on subsequent requests.

2. 使用SPA，我们不需要对服务器使用额外的查询来下载页面。

The number of pages user downloads during visit to my web site?? really how many mails some reads when he/she opens his/her mail account. I read >50 at one go. now the structure of the mails is almost the same. if you will use a server side rendering scheme the server would then render it on every request(typical case). - security concern - you should/ should not keep separate pages for the admins/login that entirely depends upon the structure of you site take paytm.com for example also making a web site SPA does not mean that you open all the endpoints for all the users I mean I use forms auth with my spa web site. - in the probably most used SPA framework Angular JS the dev can load the entire html temple from the web site so that can be done depending on the users authentication level. pre loading html for all the auth types isn't SPA.

3.还有其他的优势吗?别再听别人说了。

现在，您可以放心地假设客户机将拥有支持javascript的浏览器。 网站只有一个入口。正如我之前提到的，状态维护是可能的，你可以有任意数量的入口点，但你应该有一个确定的入口点。 即使在SPA用户只看到他有适当的权利。你不需要一次注射所有的东西。加载不同的html模板和javascript async也是一个有效的SPA的一部分。

我能想到的优点是:

rendering html obviously takes some resources now every user visiting you site is doing this. also not only rendering major logics are now done client side instead of server side. date time issues - I just give the client UTC time is a pre set format and don't even care about the time zones I let javascript handle it. this is great advantage to where I had to guess time zones based on location derived from users IP. to me state is more nicely maintained in an SPA because once you have set a variable you know it will be there. this gives a feel of developing an app rather than a web page. this helps a lot typically in making sites like foodpanda, flipkart, amazon. because if you are not using client side state you are using expensive sessions. websites surely are extremely responsive - I'll take an extreme example for this try making a calculator in a non SPA website(I know its weird).

来自评论的更新

It doesn't seem like anyone mentioned about sockets and long-polling. If you log out from another client say mobile app, then your browser should also log out. If you don't use SPA, you have to re-create the socket connection every time there is a redirect. This should also work with any updates in data like notifications, profile update etc An alternate perspective: Aside from your website, will your project involve a native mobile app? If yes, you are most likely going to be feeding raw data to that native app from a server (ie JSON) and doing client-side processing to render it, correct? So with this assertion, you're ALREADY doing a client-side rendering model. Now the question becomes, why shouldn't you use the same model for the website-version of your project? Kind of a no-brainer. Then the question becomes whether you want to render server-side pages only for SEO benefits and convenience of shareable/bookmarkable URLs

如果没有首先定义如何在服务器端解决安全性和API稳定性问题，就不要考虑使用SPA。然后，您将看到使用SPA的一些真正优点。具体来说，如果您使用实现OAUTH 2.0的rest式服务器来实现安全性，那么您将实现两个基本的关注点分离，从而降低开发和维护成本。

这将把会话(以及它的安全性)转移到SPA上，从而减轻服务器的所有开销。 您的API变得既稳定又易于扩展。

前面曾暗示过，但未明确;如果您的目标是部署Android和Apple应用程序，那么编写一个JavaScript SPA，它由本地调用包装，以在浏览器(Android或Apple)中托管屏幕，从而消除了同时维护Apple代码库和Android代码库的需要。

对于谷歌、亚马逊等公司来说，他们的服务器在24/7模式下以最大容量运行，减少流量意味着真正的金钱——更少的硬件、更少的能源、更少的维护。将cpu使用从服务器转移到客户端是有回报的，spa大放异彩。到目前为止，利大于弊。 所以，SPA与否很大程度上取决于用例。

只是为了提到另一个可能不那么明显(对于web开发人员)的spa用例: 我目前正在寻找一种在嵌入式系统中实现gui的方法，基于浏览器的架构似乎对我很有吸引力。传统上，嵌入式系统中的ui没有太多的可能性——Java、Qt、wx等或适当的商业框架。几年前，Adobe试图通过flash进入市场，但似乎并不成功。

如今，由于“嵌入式系统”与几年前的大型机一样强大，基于浏览器的UI通过REST连接到控制单元是一种可能的解决方案。这样做的好处是，为用户界面提供了大量的工具，而且是免费的。(例如Qt需要20-30美元/销售单位的特许权使用费加上3000-4000美元/开发者)

对于这样的架构，SPA提供了许多优势——例如，桌面应用程序开发人员更熟悉的开发方法，减少服务器访问(通常在汽车行业，UI和系统混乱是分开的硬件，其中系统部分有一个RT操作系统)。

由于唯一的客户端是内置的浏览器，上面提到的js可用性、服务器端日志记录、安全性等缺点都不再重要。

SPA - SEO的一个主要缺点。直到最近谷歌和Bing才开始通过在爬行过程中执行JavaScript来索引基于ajax的页面，但在许多情况下，页面仍然被错误地索引。

在开发SPA时，您将被迫处理SEO问题，可能是通过后渲染所有站点和创建静态html快照供爬虫使用。这将需要对适当的基础设施进行坚实的投资。

更新19.06.16:

自从前段时间写了这个答案，我在单页应用(即AngularJS 1.x)方面获得了更多的经验——所以我有更多的信息可以分享。

In my opinion, the main disadvantage of SPA applications is SEO, making them limited to kind of "dashboard" apps only. In addition, you are going to have a much harder times with caching, compared to classic solutions. For example, in ASP.NET caching is extreamly easy - just turn on OutputCaching and you are good: the whole HTML page will be cached according to URL (or any other parameters). However, in SPA you will need to handle caching yourself (by using some solutions like second level cache, template caching, etc..).

缺点

1. 客户端必须启用javascript。是的，这是SPA的一个明显的缺点。在我的例子中，我知道我可以期望我的用户启用JavaScript。如果你不能，那么你就不能做SPA，就这样。这就像试图将。net应用程序部署到一台没有安装。net框架的机器上。

2. 只有一个入口。我用SammyJS解决了这个问题。2-3天的工作，让你的路由正确设置，人们将能够创建深度链接书签到你的应用程序，并正常工作。你的服务器只需要公开一个端点——“给我这个应用程序的HTML + CSS + JS”端点(把它想象成预编译应用程序的下载/更新位置)——而你编写的客户端JavaScript将处理进入应用程序的实际入口。

3. Security. This issue is not unique to SPAs, you have to deal with security in exactly the same way when you have an "old-school" client-server app (the HATEOAS model of using Hypertext to link between pages). It's just that the user is making the requests rather than your JavaScript, and that the results are in HTML rather than JSON or some data format. In a non-SPA app you have to secure the individual pages on the server, whereas in a SPA app you have to secure the data endpoints. (And, if you don't want your client to have access to all the code, then you have to split apart the downloadable JavaScript into separate areas as well. I simply tie that into my SammyJS-based routing system so the browser only requests things that the client knows it should have access to, based on an initial load of the user's roles, and then that becomes a non-issue.)

优势

A major architectural advantage of a SPA (that rarely gets mentioned) in many cases is the huge reduction in the "chattiness" of your app. If you design it properly to handle most processing on the client (the whole point, after all), then the number of requests to the server (read "possibilities for 503 errors that wreck your user experience") is dramatically reduced. In fact, a SPA makes it possible to do entirely offline processing, which is huge in some situations. Performance is certainly better with client-side rendering if you do it right, but this is not the most compelling reason to build a SPA. (Network speeds are improving, after all.) Don't make the case for SPA on this basis alone. Flexibility in your UI design is perhaps the other major advantage that I have found. Once I defined my API (with an SDK in JavaScript), I was able to completely rewrite my front-end with zero impact on the server aside from some static resource files. Try doing that with a traditional MVC app! :) (This becomes valuable when you have live deployments and version consistency of your API to worry about.)

因此，底线是:如果您需要脱机处理(或者至少希望您的客户端能够在偶尔的服务器中断中存活)—极大地降低您自己的硬件成本—并且您可以假设JavaScript和现代浏览器，那么您需要一个SPA。在其他情况下，这更像是一种权衡。
