Next.js App Router projects should use a server-components-first approach for data fetching and routing, enforcing clear file structure conventions for layouts and error handling to improve performance and maintainability.

The best way to divide components in Next.js App Router is prioritizing server components for data fetching and routing, applying structured conventions to standardize features across multiple pages.

Next.js App Router supports caching strategies, server actions, and metadata guidelines, enforcing structured recommendations to standardize routing and data fetching patterns across modern project architectures.

Next.js App Router architectures feel fragmented when developers fail to apply consistent patterns, requiring structured conventions for component division, layouts, and data fetching to resolve maintenance challenges.

You can refactor existing Next.js pages by reviewing your project structure to identify server versus client components, evaluating routing patterns, and aligning data fetching with App Router best practices.

Server components in Next.js should be used first for data fetching and routing tasks, while client components are applied selectively, ensuring structured conventions and caching strategies are maintained.
