Real-World Next.js Performance: Moving Beyond standard useEffect and Fetching Hooks
The article discusses strategies for improving performance in Next.js applications by moving beyond basic data fetching methods. It highlights the issues caused by client-side fetching waterfalls and suggests using server-side rendering and caching techniques to enhance user experience.
