Bundle size reduction in Next.js App Router involves analyzing and minimizing client-side JavaScript through code splitting, lazy loading, and removing unused dependencies. Use next/dynamic for route-based code splitting, tree-shake unused imports, and leverage Server Components by default to keep logic on the server.

Optimize data fetching by using explicit fetch cache and revalidate directives in your Server Components. Set appropriate cache tags, use on-demand revalidation for dynamic content, and combine incremental static regeneration with background updates to reduce redundant requests and improve response times.

Streaming with Suspense progressively renders page sections as data loads. Wrap async Server Components in Suspense boundaries with fallback UI, allowing above-the-fold content to display immediately while slower queries stream in. This improves perceived performance and Core Web Vitals scores.

Yes. Use next/image for automatic image optimization, responsive sizing, and lazy loading to improve Largest Contentful Paint. Use next/font to self-host fonts with zero layout shift, ensuring Cumulative Layout Shift stays low while maintaining visual performance.

Server Components reduce client JavaScript by keeping logic server-side, improving Time to Interactive and bundle size. Client Components enable interactivity but increase JavaScript cost. Minimize client-side rendering to dashboard interactions and real-time features; default to Server Components for content and data fetching.

Profile using browser DevTools for bundle analysis and runtime metrics, or use next/speed-insights and third-party monitoring tools. Identify slow routes, data fetching delays, and rendering bottlenecks. Monitor Core Web Vitals in production to validate optimization impact across real user traffic.
