Traditional Routing and React Router handle navigation differently:

Aspect	Traditional Routing	React Router
Page Loading	Full page reloads on navigation	No page reloads, just component updates
Server Role	Server returns a new HTML page for each URL	Server serves a single HTML file; routing is managed on the client
Speed	Slower due to reloading the entire page	Faster, feels like a native app
User Experience	Can feel less smooth; loading screens appear	Seamless transitions between pages
Control	Server-side control of routing	Client-side routing with full control inside React

In summary, traditional routing depends on the server to serve new pages, while React Router manages routing inside the app for a faster, smoother experience.
