I've been using Next.js for my latest project and I must say it has made SSR so much easier. Great article!

Couldn't agree more! I also appreciate the built-in CSS support in Next.js for styling my components. #nextjs

What about client-side rendering? I prefer CSR for faster user experience but it's not great for search engines. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Next.js supports hybrid rendering, so you can use both CSR and SSR for the best of both worlds. #nextjs

SSR is definitely important for SEO. Is there a performance penalty for using Next.js with SSR in comparison to more traditional methods?

While there is some added overhead with Next.js, the benefits of SSR and improved DX (developer experience) far outweigh the costs #nextjs

I was curious about this as well but I did some testing and the performance was actually very similar. #nextjs

Have you tried using TypeScript support in Next.js? It's really improved my project's type safety and code maintainability. #nextjs #typescript

I have tried TypeScript with Next.js recently and I can say that TypeScript type safety and autocomplete has sped up my development time.
