Why I Switched to Next.js

When I started building web applications, I used Create React App for everything. It was simple, easy to set up, and got the job done.

But as my projects grew, I started facing issues with:

  • SEO
  • Performance
  • Routing

Enter Next.js

Next.js solved all these problems out of the box.

Server-Side Rendering (SSR)

SSR is a game changer for SEO.

# Creating a new Next.js app is as simple as:
npx create-next-app@latest my-app

File-Based Routing

No more react-router-dom configuration hell. Just create a file in the app directory and you're good to go.

Next.js Routing

Final Thoughts

If you haven't tried Next.js yet, I highly recommend giving it a shot.
