A React single-page app is a poor choice for anything Google needs to read. Next.js renders on the server, so marketing pages are indexable and fast, while the product interface behind the login stays as interactive as any SPA. We use it for both — including this website, which is a Next.js application.
Four situations where rendering on the server and shipping less JavaScript is the whole point.
A single-page app renders everything in the browser, so the crawler sees an empty shell and the pages that should rank never do.
What replaces it
The site is fine on office wifi and unusable on a phone with two bars — which is how most of the traffic actually arrives.
What replaces it
The public site is on one platform and the logged-in product on another, so branding drifts and every change is done twice.
What replaces it
Marketing wants to change a headline and has to raise a ticket, so the site slowly stops reflecting what the business actually sells.
What replaces it
Server-rendered and statically generated pages for search visibility
Metadata, canonical URLs, sitemap, robots and structured data
Core Web Vitals work — image handling, fonts, bundle size
Dashboards and product UI connected to your existing APIs
Design system built with Tailwind CSS and reusable components
Accessibility, keyboard navigation and dark mode
Deployment, caching strategy and CI/CD setup
Marketing sites, app front ends and the parts in between, built to load fast on the connections your visitors actually have.
Server components by default, client components only where interaction needs them, and streaming where it helps.
Per-page titles and descriptions, Open Graph images, JSON-LD structured data, sitemap, robots and canonical URLs.
Image optimisation, font loading, bundle size and Core Web Vitals measured rather than assumed.
Reusable components, theme tokens, dark and light modes, and accessibility checked as part of the build.
Route handlers, server actions, caching and revalidation, connected to your backend or a headless CMS.
Preview deployments per change, production hosting, and analytics wired in so the site can be judged on numbers.
Anything where the first paint matters, or where search traffic is the business.
Sites whose job is to rank, load fast and turn a visit into an enquiry.
Public pages and the authenticated product in one codebase with one design system.
Data-heavy interfaces that stay responsive because most of the work happens on the server.
Catalogue and checkout pages that render on the server so product pages are indexable and quick.
Editorial sites with a CMS behind them, preview builds and structured data on every article.
Moving a slow or fragile site across without losing URLs, rankings or the ability to edit content.
Yes — it is one of the main reasons to choose it. Pages are rendered on the server or at build time, so search engines receive complete HTML rather than an empty shell, and metadata, canonical URLs, sitemaps and structured data are all first-class features of the framework.
Yes. Next.js handles the interface and talks to your back-end over an API. This is a common setup for us — Laravel keeps the business logic and data, Next.js delivers a fast, indexable front-end on top of it.
