Next.js PPR (Partial Prerendering) combines static and dynamic rendering in a single page. It serves a fast static shell while streaming live content as it’s ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, developers had to choose between fully static or fully dynamic pages when building a Next.js app<\/a>. Next.js PPR removes that trade-off by combining both approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, you’ll learn how Streaming and Partial Prerendering build faster product pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges of Traditional Rendering in Modern Web Apps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Waiting for all live data delays the entire page. Making everything static, on the other hand, risks showing outdated information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Streaming solves this by combining static and dynamic content, so users see the page sooner while live data loads in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Streaming Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Instead of waiting for every request to finish, Next.js streams the page to the browser in smaller pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The static content appears immediately, while sections that depend on live data continue loading in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As each section becomes ready, it is displayed automatically. This reduces waiting time and makes the page feel much faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stream Dynamic Sections with Suspense<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

React’s Suspense<\/code> tells Next.js which parts of the page can load later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything outside the Suspense<\/code> boundary becomes part of the initial page. While the dynamic component fetches its data, users see a fallback UI instead of a blank space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

import { Suspense } from "react"; \nexport default function ProductPage() {\n return (\n <>\n <ProductDetails \/>\n <Suspense fallback={<StockSkeleton \/>}> \n  <LiveStock \/>\n <\/Suspense>\n <\/> \n); \n}<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
In this example, the product details appear immediately, while the stock information streams in once it’s available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep Suspense Boundaries Small<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A common mistake is wrapping large sections\u2014or even the entire page\u2014in a single Suspense<\/code> boundary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This delays more content than necessary because the browser waits for a larger part of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, wrap only the components that depend on live data to maximize streaming performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<Suspense fallback={<PriceSkeleton \/>}>\n <LivePrice sku={product.sku} \/>\n <\/Suspense><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Keeping the boundary small allows more of the page to be included in the initial render, making the application feel much faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Show Instant Feedback with <\/strong>Loading.js<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes an entire route takes time to load. Adding a loading.js<\/code> file lets Next.js display a loading state immediately while the page is being prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
export default function Loading() { \nreturn <ProductGridSkeleton \/>;\n }<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Instead of a blank screen, visitors see a skeleton UI that is replaced automatically when the page finishes loading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Should You Use Streaming?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Streaming works best when a page combines static content with live data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
