Choosing the right framework for your website is one of the most consequential technical decisions you will make — and when SEO is a priority, Next.js has established itself as the clear leader.
The SEO Problem with Client-Side Rendering
Traditional React applications render entirely in the browser. When Google's crawler visits a client-rendered page, it initially receives an almost empty HTML document. Server-side rendering solves this at the root.
Next.js Metadata API
Next.js 13+ introduced a dedicated Metadata API that makes managing SEO tags clean, type-safe, and dynamic.
Core Web Vitals: Built for Performance
Next.js was designed from the ground up with performance as a first principle. Font optimisation, automatic code splitting, streaming SSR, and static generation by default all contribute to exceptional scores.
