Partial Prerendering (experimental)

Warning: Partial Prerendering is an experimental feature and is currently not suitable for production environments.

Partial Prerendering is an experimental feature that allows static portions of a route to be prerendered and served from the cache with dynamic holes streamed in, all in a single HTTP request.

Partial Prerendering is available in next@canary:

npm install next@canary

You can enable Partial Prerendering by setting the experimental ppr flag:

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    ppr: true,
  },
}
 
module.exports = nextConfig

Good to know:

• Partial Prerendering does not yet apply to client-side navigations. We are actively working on this.
• Partial Prerendering is designed for the Node.js runtime only. Using the subset of the Node.js runtime is not needed when you can instantly serve the static shell.
