SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Efficiently render Next.js routes by selectively caching static, cached, and dynamic portions to reduce server load and improve response times.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three content types: Static (auto-prerendered), Cached (with use cache), and Dynamic (Suspense) for flexible rendering.
  • Cache Profiles and invalidation controls via cacheLife, cacheTag, and updateTag to manage freshness and invalidation strategies.
  • Migration guidance and runtime constraints to ensure safe use of cache components in production.

Quick Start

Enable cache components in your Next.js project and start annotating components with use cache to automatically cache data and tune behavior with cacheLife and cacheTag.

FAQPage Schema
How do I cache portions of a Next.js route to reduce server load?

Cache portions of a Next.js route by annotating components with the use cache directive. This selectively caches static, cached, and dynamic content to reduce server load and improve response times.

What is the difference between static prerendering and use cache in Next.js?

Static prerendering automatically caches content at build time, while use cache caches data dynamically at runtime. Cache Components supports both, alongside dynamic content with Suspense, for flexible rendering strategies.

How do I invalidate cached data using cacheTag and cacheLife in Next.js?

Invalidate cached data using cacheTag to label cache entries and updateTag to trigger invalidation. Use cacheLife to manage cache profiles and freshness, ensuring your Next.js application serves up-to-date content.

Do I need Next.js 16 to use cache components and the use cache directive?

Yes, you need Next.js 16+ to use Cache Components. Enable the feature in your project configuration to start annotating components with use cache and manage freshness with cacheLife and cacheTag.

Why does my use cache directive fail when accessing cookies or headers?

The use cache directive fails when accessing cookies(), headers(), or searchParams because of runtime-data constraints. These dynamic APIs cannot be used inside cached components to ensure safe production use.
