From Lovable to Next.js: How to Boost SEO for Your React + Vite Projects

AI makes building easy, but not scaling

Platforms like Lovable are amazing for quickly generating a React + Vite project.

You describe your idea, and within minutes, you get a working app.

But after the excitement of creation, the real question kicks in:

"How do I scale this project so it’s production-ready and SEO-friendly?"


The limits of staying on Vite

Vite is fantastic for prototyping and rapid development.

However, when it comes to launching a real product on the web and being visible on Google, the gaps become obvious:

  • No server-side rendering → limited SEO
  • Routing complexity for static/dynamic pages
  • No built-in API routes
  • Fewer production-ready deployment features

In short: Vite is great to start, but not always great to grow.


Next.js, the natural next step

That’s where Next.js shines.

With the App Router, Next brings:

  • SEO optimization via server-side rendering
  • Nested layouts and a clean file structure
  • API routes for fullstack apps without extra backend setup
  • Built-in internationalization
  • Smooth deployment on Vercel and beyond

If your app started on Lovable but you want it to live, scale, and be found, Next.js is the way forward.


But migrating manually? Painful…

Migrating React + Vite to Next.js by hand is slow and repetitive:

rewriting routes, reorganizing files, adding use client everywhere, rebuilding layouts…

That’s exactly why I built ViteToNext.AI.


ViteToNext.AI: The bridge from prototyping to production

With ViteToNext.AI, you can:

  1. Upload your React + Vite project (e.g. created with Lovable)
  2. The tool scans your files, routes, layouts, and providers
  3. It automatically generates a Next.js App Router project
  4. You preview and export a codebase that’s ready to deploy

It’s fast, specialized, and you keep full control of your code.


A small bonus

To celebrate the launch, you can get 10% off the Pro plan.

Just use this code at checkout:

Wrapping up

  • Lovable (and similar platforms) are perfect for quickly spinning up a React + Vite app.
  • Next.js is the best choice for making that app SEO-friendly, scalable, and production-ready.
  • ViteToNext.AI is the bridge between the two: helping you go from prototype to product in just a few clicks.

If you’re using Lovable or another AI builder to launch your projects, give ViteToNext.AI a try and share your feedback.

Your app deserves to be found — and to grow.
