They are nice in theory, but I don't see that many benefits over simple SSR, or the more traditional concept of server generated HTML with interactive islands.
Next.js applications often feel way less responsive than SPAs with proper pre-rendering on first load.
- muratsu 3y agoThe speed problem imo is completely fabricated and is an angle to sell you their cloud offering. The mobile web is already unusable thanks to cookie banners, various popups, and ads. Loading spinners are the equivalent of Don Quixote's windmills.
- andix 3y agoI think it would be great to improve the speed of web applications. Including all the advertisements ;) But I'm really doubting if Next.js is actually solving this problem. They are heavily caching everyting, so it might bring big benefits with slow and weird backend systems.
