New SEO Related Features in Next.js 15
Partial Prerendering (PPR): Light Speed Awesomeness! β‘οΈ
This new feature is like a miracle! In App Router, it prerenders static parts of a page ahead of time and loads dynamic parts when the user requests them. The result? Your pages load crazy fast for Google and users alike. It crushes Core Web Vitals (like LCP and FCP), and Googleβs obsessed with speed!Smarter, Beefier Caching! π§
The caching system in Next.js 15 got a glow up. Using fetch in Server Components, you can cache data and deliver rendered content to crawlers faster. That means quicker indexing and more Google points. A fast site = a winning site!-
Dynamic Metadata, Easier Than Ever! π
In App Router, managing meta tags (like titles and descriptions) is a breeze. You can set dynamic metadata per page and optimize keywords.
For example:
// app/page.js export const metadata = { title: "My Site | Next.js 15", description: "The best SEO with Next.js 15!", }; export default function Page() { return <h1>Hello World!</h1>; }
This boosts your click through rate (CTR) in search results!
Server Components, No Hassle! β
In Next.js 15, everythingβs a Server Component by default. Old server side rendering issues (like hydration mismatches) are toned down, so what Google sees is exactly what users see. No more SEO penalties to worry about!
How to Use These Features for Better Rankings?

If you have any ideas or thoughts about a specific feature that you would like to explore further, I would love to hear your perspective.

You're welcome ππ»ππ»
You nailed it with the point about dynamic metadata. In earlier versions of Next.js, managing SEO dynamically was always a bit clunky. Now with App Router and direct metadata handling, optimizing pages individually is way more straightforward. From my experience, crafting unique meta tags for each page significantly boosts CTR β definitely worth investing the extra effort.
Thank you so so so much Hassan....πππππ
Iβm glad the point about dynamic metadata resonated with you.
I completely agree that earlier versions were a bit clunky but now with App Router the process feels much smoother.
Your insight about boosting CTR with unique meta tags is truly valuable.
Awesome coverage, thanks for sharing! I just wanted to add: properly using fetch with cache: "force-cache" not only speeds up page load times, but also makes sure Googleβs crawlers access your data without delays. Itβs like boosting SEO and UX at the same time. Next.js 15 is really bridging the gap between SSR and SPA smarter than ever before.
Thank you Hassan Your point about using fetch with cache: βforce-cacheβ is super valuable.
It truly bridges the gap between SEO and user experience seamlessly.
I totally agree that Next.js 15 is smarter than ever at balancing SSR and SPA.
Really great breakdown! What I especially liked was your focus on Partial Prerendering. In my recent Next.js 15 projects, Iβve seen firsthand how much PPR can improve LCP scores. I believe this feature can be a true game changer even for sites with heavy dynamic content. I highly recommend anyone migrating to v15 also spend time mastering cache management in Server Components β it makes a huge difference.
Thank you so much Hassan. Iβm glad my focus on Partial Prerendering caught your attention. I completely agree that PPR can be a game changer for heavy dynamic sites.

What about OpenAI choosing Remix over Next.js recently. Do you think they'll revert?
Thanks for the interesting question, Shayne!
OpenAIβs choice to use Remix seems to be tied to the specific architectural and performance needs of their projects.
Whether they might revert to Next.js depends on how well the new features in Next.js align with their requirements.
