Key insights for Next.js
Next.js sites dominate performance benchmarks — server components, ISR, and edge caching make a real difference.
Accessibility is often overlooked despite the performance focus; interactive components need explicit ARIA.
The best Next.js sites pair built-in optimisations (next/image, next/font) with a strict CSP middleware.
