Converting client-side data fetching to server components in Next.js involves a 3-step workflow: identify data requirements, extract interactive sections, and convert the page to a server component to render data on the server.

Your Next.js page shows a loading spinner because client-side fetching via useEffect and useState blocks the initial render. Moving data fetching to server components eliminates loading spinners by rendering data directly on the server.

You can use React Server Components to improve SEO for dynamic Next.js pages by shifting data fetching to the server side, which delivers fully rendered HTML during the first paint and reduces hydration delays.

When converting a page to a server component, handle interactive elements by extracting them into separate client components. This isolates interactivity while allowing the parent page to fetch data on the server.

This approach works by identifying data-store patterns like useStore that block the initial render. It targets these specific client-side state management patterns to convert eligible pages to server components for faster SSR.
