Next.js

4.5 / 5
Next.js

The framework that turns React into a complete website: routing, server rendering, image optimization and SEO out of the box. This page runs on Next.js.

Next.js solves everything React leaves open: file-based routing, server or static rendering as it suits, optimized images and metadata for SEO. This site (bilingual, with an MDX blog, an interactive laboratory and a private area) is built entirely on its App Router.

The pace at which it evolves is a double-edged sword: every major version brings real improvements and also new concepts to learn. And it's worth being aware that its best tricks perform better on Vercel, which ties you a little to the ecosystem.

PROS

  • All the essentials solved: routing, SSR, images, SEO
  • Performs very well with little optimization effort
  • Ideal for sites that mix content and app

CONS

  • Evolves fast: you have to relearn often
  • Optimized for its own cloud (Vercel): some lock-in
