Reduce Client JavaScript

One of the most powerful performance strategies in modern Next.js is avoiding unnecessary client-side JavaScript.

Every Client Component creates a client boundary. Large libraries imported into those components can increase the browser bundle.

Keep static and data-heavy UI on the server. Move only genuinely interactive pieces to the client.

Key Takeaways
  • Server Components can reduce browser JavaScript.
  • Audit large dependencies imported into Client Components.
  • Small client boundaries are generally easier to optimize.
