Static vs Server Rendering in Next.js

What are the main differences between static and server rendering in Next.js?

Static rendering generates HTML at build time, while server rendering generates it on each request. Static is faster for users.

When should I use static rendering over server rendering?

Use static rendering for content that doesn't change often, like blogs. Server rendering is better for dynamic content.

Can I mix both static and server rendering in a Next.js app?

Yes, Next.js allows you to use both methods in the same app, giving you flexibility based on your needs.

What are the performance implications of each rendering method?

Static rendering usually offers better performance since pages are pre-built, while server rendering can introduce latency.

How does Next.js handle data fetching for both rendering methods?

Next.js provides different data fetching methods like getStaticProps for static and getServerSideProps for server rendering.
