# SSR using `ModuleRunner` API

::: tip Feedback
Give us feedback at [Environment API feedback discussion](https://github.com/vitejs/vite/discussions/16358)
:::

`server.ssrLoadModule` has been replaced by importing from a [Module Runner](/guide/api-environment#modulerunner).

Affect scope: `Vite Plugin Authors`

::: warning Future Deprecation
`ModuleRunner` was first introduce in `v6.0`. The deprecation of `server.ssrLoadModule` is planned for a future major. To identify your usage, set `future.removeSsrLoadModule` to `"warn"` in your vite config.
:::

## Motivation

The `server.ssrLoadModule(url)` only allows importing modules in the `ssr` environment and can only execute the modules in the same process as the Vite dev server. For apps with custom environments, each is associated with a `ModuleRunner` that may be running in a separate thread or process. To import modules, we now have `moduleRunner.import(url)`.
