Client vs. Server Components in Next.js 14
In Next.js 14, the distinction between client-side and server-side components is crucial for developers.
Client-side components operate directly within users’ web browsers, enabling faster interactions but requiring more processing power on the client’s device. On the other hand, server-side components are processed on the server before being sent to the user’s browser, potentially improving search engine optimisation and initial loading times.
To decide between them, developers consider factors such as the need for fast interactions, the importance of search engine visibility, and whether components rely on server data.
Next.js 14 offers the flexibility to mix and match these components to optimise performance and functionality for various web applications.
