To cache specific components in Next.js 16, enable cacheComponents in next.config.ts and apply the 'use cache' directive to the target component. This selectively caches components to reduce server load and latency.

Yes, Next.js 16 Cache Components support mixed rendering strategies within a single route. You can selectively apply the 'use cache' directive to isolate cached content while leaving other components static or dynamic.

Control cache invalidation in Next.js server components using cacheLife, cacheTag, and updateTag. These mechanisms manage the safe cache lifecycle, revalidate behavior, and automatic key generation for your cached data.

Before using the 'use cache' directive, you must enable the cacheComponents flag in your next.config.ts file. This activates the Next.js 16 Cache Components feature required for selective component and data caching.

Use cache components for mixed rendering in Next.js when a single route combines static, cached, and dynamic content. This approach optimizes web performance by reducing server load and improving user-perceived latency.
