In the realm of web development, creating a visually stunning and highly efficient website is paramount. At our organization, we have adopted Next.js as a means of optimizing our website’s SEO and performance to the fullest extent possible. We will reveal some of our most valuable techniques and practices for fine-tuning your Next.js website and achieving an exceptional level of optimization.
Leverage the Power of Static Site Generation (SSG)
Next.js has a notable advantage in that it can create static websites, which greatly improves a site’s performance. SSG pre-renders all of a website’s pages at the time of build, resulting in users receiving a fully optimized, rapidly loading site. This method has additional SEO benefits, as search engines can quickly crawl and index static pages.
To utilize SSG in Next.js, you can use the getStaticProps and getStaticPaths functions. Here's an example of how to use getStaticProps to fetch data and pre-render a page:
export async function getStaticProps() {
const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data');
const data = await res.json();
return {
props: {
data
}
}
}
