SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Cache Components help Next.js developers mix static, cached, and dynamic content to optimize rendering performance without sacrificing real-time data.

Core Features & Use Cases

Enable cacheComponents in Next.js 16 to opt into smart caching
Use the use cache directive, cacheLife, cacheTag, and updateTag to control caching, invalidation, and revalidation
Scenarios include static shells for fast load, cached components for data fetching, and dynamic content that requires up-to-date data

Quick Start

Enable cache components in next.config.ts and annotate pages or components with 'use cache' to begin caching.

FAQPage Schema

How do I mix static and dynamic content in Next.js without hurting performance?▼

Next.js Cache Components let you mix static, cached, and dynamic content to optimize rendering performance without sacrificing real-time data. You annotate components with the use cache directive to control caching behavior.

How do I use the use cache directive to cache Next.js components?▼

To use the use cache directive, enable cacheComponents in your next.config.ts file and annotate pages or components with use cache. You then manage caching behavior and invalidation using cacheLife and cacheTag.

Does Next.js Cache Components require a specific version to work?▼

Yes, Cache Components require Next.js 16 or later. You must enable the cacheComponents flag in your next.config.ts file to opt into smart caching and begin annotating components with use cache.

What is the best way to revalidate cached data in Next.js server rendering?▼

The best way to revalidate cached data in Next.js server rendering is using cacheLife and cacheTag management tools. You can use updateTag to control caching invalidation and schedule periodic revalidation for data-cached components.

Why do I need cacheLife and cacheTag when using Cache Components?▼

You need cacheLife and cacheTag to manage proper invalidation when using Cache Components. They allow you to control how long cached components stay fresh and selectively revalidate cached data fetching components when underlying data changes.

When should I not use the use cache directive in Next.js?▼

You should not use the use cache directive for Next.js content that requires up-to-date data on every request. It is designed for static shells and data-cached components, so applying it to highly dynamic content defeats its purpose.
