next-cache-components

Implement partial prerendering by enabling cacheComponents in next.config.ts and applying the use cache directive to selectively cache specific server components, mixing static and dynamic content within a single route.

The use cache directive in Next.js enables selective content caching for server components. Use it to optimize pages with mixed data freshness needs, like dashboards or analytics, by statically prerendering parts of a route.

Control cache lifetimes and invalidation in Next.js server components by utilizing cacheLife to set duration, cacheTag to label cached data, and updateTag to perform targeted cache invalidation when underlying data changes.

Yes, Cache Components support hybrid rendering in Next.js, allowing you to mix static, cached, and dynamic content patterns in a single route to optimize web performance while preserving data freshness for real-time elements.

Enable Cache Components by setting the cacheComponents flag to true in your next.config.ts file, then apply the use cache directive within your server components to start leveraging partial prerendering.

Cache Components require Next.js 16 and careful management of cache lifetimes and tags. Complex invalidation logic using updateTag is necessary to prevent stale data in scenarios with highly dynamic or real-time content freshness requirements.
