Next.js makes it easy to render content server-side or statically at build time, which improves SEO and page speed. With the App Router, you can also use streaming and partial rendering to speed up complex pages.

3. File-Based Routing with More Control

The App Router still uses file-based routing, but it’s now more flexible. You can define layouts, templates, loading states, and even error boundaries — per route — simply by placing special files like layout.tsx or loading.tsx in the right folders.

4. Great for Any Kind of Site

From blogs and landing pages to complex web apps and dashboards — Next.js supports hybrid rendering, server components, and even edge functions. It's one framework for nearly any type of website or application.

5. Built and Maintained by Vercel

Next.js is developed by Vercel, a platform that provides seamless hosting and performance tools tightly integrated with the framework. One-click deployments, automatic caching, and global CDN are just the beginning.

Final Thoughts

Next.js is evolving rapidly, and the new App Router is a game-changer. Whether you're a solo developer or part of a large team, Next.js offers a clean, modern way to build fast and scalable web applications — without the complexity.
