Server-Side Rendering (SSR)
SSR renders the page on the server for each request. Use SSR when your content changes frequently.
Static Site Generation (SSG)
SSG generates HTML at build time. Use SSG for pages that rarely change, improving speed and caching.
Choosing Between SSR and SSG
- Use SSR for dashboards, user-specific content, or frequently updated data.
- Use SSG for blogs, documentation, landing pages, or marketing sites.
Next.js also supports Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) for hybrid approaches.
