Next JS and React are major frameworks used in Web development.
Next JS is built on top of React and provides additional features like server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG) with built-in support for TypeScript.
React excels in building interactive UIs with its component-based architecture and virtual DOM.
Performance optimization in modern web development is crucial for providing a positive user experience, quick response and high SEO rankings.
Next JS wins over React in terms of page loading and speed optimization due to its SSR and SSG techniques.
React leverages client-side rendering (CSR) to handle heavy DOM updates efficiently. However, its SEO optimization, load times, and rendering capabilities can be improved with SSR, SSG, and other optimization techniques.
Next JS provides automatic code splitting, optimized image handling, and built-in performance optimization tools that handle the complexities of optimization.
React uses component reconciliation and memoization, and offers several techniques for speed optimization like lazy loading, pure components etc.
Next JS is beneficial for static content-heavy, SEO-driven applications, while React is ideal for dynamic, client-side applications.
Next JS effectively handles dynamic content with incremental static regeneration and automatic code splitting, ensuring performance is not compromised.
