What are the advantages of Next.js over plain React?

Next.js extends React with several production-ready features: server-side rendering for better SEO and initial load performance; static site generation for blazing-fast page loads; built-in routing that eliminates the need for external libraries; API routes for backend functionality without separate servers; automatic code splitting for optimal loading; image optimization; and zero configuration setup. These features make Next.js ideal for production applications where performance, SEO, and developer experience are priorities.

Is Next.js suitable for my project?

Next.js is particularly well-suited for content-rich websites, e-commerce platforms, marketing sites, and applications where SEO is important. It's also excellent for projects that need both static and dynamic pages. If your project requires server-side rendering, static site generation, or a combination of both, Next.js is an excellent choice. For simple single-page applications with no SEO requirements, plain React might be sufficient, though Next.js still offers benefits in terms of performance and developer experience.

How does Next.js improve SEO?

Next.js significantly improves SEO through server-side rendering and static site generation, ensuring search engines can fully index your content. Unlike client-side rendered applications where search engines might not see all content, Next.js delivers fully rendered HTML to search engines. It also improves Core Web Vitals metrics like Largest Contentful Paint and First Input Delay, which are now ranking factors for Google. Additionally, Next.js makes it easy to implement metadata, structured data, and other SEO best practices.

Can Next.js be integrated with headless CMS platforms?

Yes, Next.js works exceptionally well with headless CMS platforms like Contentful, Sanity, Strapi, and WordPress (as a headless CMS). The combination of a headless CMS with Next.js allows for a powerful, flexible content strategy while maintaining excellent performance and developer experience. We have extensive experience integrating Next.js with various headless CMS solutions, creating custom content models, and implementing efficient content delivery pipelines.

How do you handle deployment and hosting for Next.js applications?

We deploy Next.js applications on various platforms depending on your requirements. Vercel (created by the team behind Next.js) offers the most seamless deployment experience with features like preview deployments and edge functions. We also deploy to AWS Amplify, Netlify, or traditional hosting environments like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure for more complex requirements. Our deployment process includes CI/CD pipelines, environment configuration, and performance optimization specific to your hosting platform.
