This means you can increase site performance/speed while maintaining editor autonomy to regularly update or edit content on your website. How? Because you no longer need to think of caching in terms of pages but rather smaller components within your page, like navigation, metadata for SEO, personalized content, and modules used throughout the whole experience. Without having to trade off performance or the content velocity of your team.Adopting the App Router requires a bit of a mindset shift, adopting React Server Components and a new file structure for routes. In this talk, Kapehe, Developer Marketing Manager at Sanity, and Grant, VP of Engineering at Formidable, will discuss actionable steps for how to use Next.js’ new features for real-life use cases. You’ll also see how to use Sanity as your content layer to treat your content as data and how you can reduce code with our latest next-sanity updates that support App Router.
