React.js is awesome

React does a lot of things correctly but also leaves a great deal up to the developer to figure out or to use a third-party solution.

Enter Next.js

Next.js fills in a lot of the issues which your React application is bound to run into. At the time of writing Next.js offers:

  • Much Faster loads times - Next.js bundles the application into smaller JavaScript packages for faster loading.
  • Server Side Rendering (SSR) - which makes React applications very SEO friendly. Search Engines see HTML not Javascript.
  • Built in Image Optimization - This greatly improves your Google PageSpeed Insights rating and massively improves the speed with which your website loads.
  • Rendering SVG images - Again, search engines and visitors like love fast websites.
