Frontend

some things that have been making nextjs faster/cheaper for me lately:
- prefetch your links with their <Link>
- don’t use their <Image>, use <img> + a CDN(I like Cloudinary)
- if you use RSCs you need to use suspense and proper data loading patterns(and caching) otherwise your app becomes sooo slow 
- keeping certain values either strictly static or on the client

*also* just waiting for those turbopack-enabled builds someday, still crazy to me sometimes that I’m waiting like 2-3 mins for a nextjs build on vercel lol

anything I’m missing? also I feel like a lot of this just comes down to general best practices

just in time lol, bookmarking this for later

you can use the Image component with a third party CDN/optimizer! that way you don’t miss out on the rest of the optimizations the component includes. docs here:
