Generates responsive sizes for different devices
Creates blur placeholders for smooth loading
Enables native lazy loading for better performance
Caches optimized versions at the edge
Fonts
Fonts are automatically optimized and loaded efficiently: Subsets only required characters Preloads critical fonts Prevents layout shift during loading Enables variable fonts support
Scripts
JavaScript and CSS are automatically optimized: Code splitting and bundling Tree shaking to remove unused code Minification and compression Dynamic imports for better load times
Server-Side Rendering
Next.js's powerful SSR capabilities mean pages are pre-rendered on the server, delivering fully formed HTML to users instantly. This improves both performance and SEO while reducing client-side JavaScript overhead.
Incremental Static Regeneration
Pages are statically generated and automatically updated when content changes, combining the speed of static sites with the dynamism of server-rendered content. This means blazing-fast page loads while keeping content fresh.
Link Prefetching
Clutch leverages Next.js Link prefetching to preload linked pages as they appear in the viewport. This means visitors experience instant navigation and a smooth, app-like feel without any configuration needed.
Faster page loads with shared layouts
Clutch preserves your site's permanent elements—like headers and footers—while only updating necessary content between pages. This means faster loading times for visitors since only new content needs downloading. Navigation feels smooth and app-like without full page refreshes, and your site consumes less bandwidth, improving efficiency for both you and your visitors.
Perfect Core Web Vitals
Next.js's advanced optimizations ensure your site achieves perfect scores for Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) - the key metrics Google uses to evaluate site performance.
Optimized Loading Strategy
Smart page rendering combines static generation, server-side rendering, and client-side hydration to deliver the fastest possible experience for every type of content.
