Next.js
A React framework that handles routing, server rendering, and optimization out of the box so you can ship faster.
What are Next.js?
Next.js is a React framework built by Vercel that gives you routing, server-side rendering, API routes, and image optimization right out of the box.
Instead of configuring webpack, setting up routing, and wiring together a dozen packages, you run one command and start building. It handles both static sites and server-rendered pages in the same project.
Most builders use it because it's the fastest way to go from idea to deployed React app. The App Router (introduced in v13) makes server components the default, which means faster page loads and better SEO without extra work.
Free to use. Hosting on Vercel is free for hobby projects, scales with usage for production. You can also deploy to any Node.js host.
