In Next.js projects, I used different rendering methods depending on the content type and SEO and performance requirements.
-
Static Generation (SSG) — for pages with rarely changing content (e.g., blog, marketing pages). Used
getStaticPropsandgetStaticPathsto generate pages at build time, ensuring fast loading and good SEO. -
Server-Side Rendering (SSR) — for dynamic content that depends on the user's request or updates frequently (e.g., personal account, pages with real-time data). Used
getServerSidePropsto generate the page on the server for each request. -
Client-Side Rendering (CSR) — for interactive parts of the application where data loads after the initial render (e.g., filters, dynamic lists). Used React hooks (
useEffect) to load data on the client.
Example:
// Static generation
export async function getStaticProps() {
const posts = await fetchPosts();
return { props: { posts } };
}
// Server-side rendering
export async function getServerSideProps(context) {
const user = await fetchUser(context.params.id);
return { props: { user } };
}
This approach allows optimizing performance and SEO by choosing the appropriate rendering method for specific tasks.
