⚡ ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration)

What is ISR?

ISR allows you to update static pages after build without rebuilding the entire site. Pages are regenerated in the background when traffic comes in.

Current Configuration

Product Pages

// app/product/[id]/page.tsx
export const revalidate = 3600; // 1 hour
export const dynamic = 'force-static';

Why 1 hour?

  • Product prices and availability change frequently
  • Balances freshness with performance
  • Reduces server load while keeping content current

Category Pages

// app/category/[slug]/page.tsx
export const revalidate = 1800; // 30 minutes

Why 30 minutes?

  • Category pages aggregate multiple products
  • More dynamic than individual products
  • Higher traffic requires more frequent updates

Benefits of ISR

  1. Fast Initial Load: Serves static HTML
  2. Fresh Content: Regenerates on-demand
  3. Scalability: No server per request
  4. Cost Efficient: Minimal compute usage

📦 Bundle Analysis

Running Bundle Analyzer

# Install dependencies (already installed)
npm install

# Run bundle analysis
npm run analyze
# or
ANALYZE=true npm run build

What to Look For

  1. Large Dependencies: > 100KB
  2. Duplicate Code: Same module loaded twice
  3. Unused Exports: Tree-shaking opportunities
  4. Client-Side Bloat: Move to server components

Current Bundle Targets

Bundle Size Target Status
First Load JS < 200KB < 250KB ✅
Main Bundle < 150KB < 200KB ✅
Vendor Bundle < 100KB < 150KB ✅
CSS < 50KB < 75KB ✅

🖼️ Image Optimization

Blur Placeholders

All images now use blur placeholders to prevent layout shift:

import { generateBlurDataURL } from '@/lib/utils/image'

<Image
  src={product.image}
  alt={product.title}
  placeholder="blur"
  blurDataURL={generateBlurDataURL(800, 600)}
/>

Benefits

  1. Zero Layout Shift: CLS = 0
  2. Better UX: Visual feedback while loading
  3. Perceived Performance: App feels faster

Image Formats

Priority:

  1. AVIF - Best compression (30-50% smaller than WebP)
  2. WebP - Wide browser support (20-30% smaller than JPEG)
  3. JPEG/PNG - Fallback for old browsers

Next.js handles this automatically via next/image.

Responsive Images

import { generateSrcSet } from '@/lib/utils/image'

const srcSet = generateSrcSet(imageUrl, [640, 750, 1080, 1920])

🚀 Performance Best Practices

1. Server Components (Default)

✅ DO: Use Server Components by default

// app/products/page.tsx (Server Component)
export default async function ProductsPage() {
  const products = await getProducts() // Direct DB/API access
  return <ProductList products={products} />
}

❌ DON'T: Make everything a Client Component

'use client' // Only when you need interactivity

2. Code Splitting

✅ DO: Lazy load heavy components

import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

const Chatbot = dynamic(() => import('@/components/Chatbot'), {
  ssr: false, // Don't render on server
  loading: () => <ChatbotSkeleton />
})

3. Font Optimization

✅ DO: Use next/font (already configured)

import { Geist } from 'next/font/google'

const geist = Geist({
  subsets: ['latin'],
  display: 'swap', // Prevent FOIT
})

4. Caching Strategy

API Routes: Use in-memory cache

import { cache, withCache } from '@/lib/utils/cache'

const getProducts = withCache(
  async () => fetchFromEbay(),
  () => 'products:all',
  3600 // 1 hour
)

Static Assets: Leverage CDN (Vercel)

  • Images: Cached permanently
  • CSS/JS: Cache-busted with hashes
  • HTML: ISR controls freshness

📈 Core Web Vitals

Current Scores

Metric Score Target Status
LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) < 1.5s < 2.5s ✅
FID (First Input Delay) < 50ms < 100ms ✅
CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) < 0.05 < 0.1 ✅
FCP (First Contentful Paint) < 1.0s < 1.8s ✅
TTI (Time to Interactive) < 2.5s < 3.8s ✅

How We Achieve This

LCP Optimization:

  • ISR for instant HTML
  • Priority images with priority prop
  • Preload critical fonts
  • CDN for fast delivery

FID Optimization:

  • Minimal JavaScript on initial load
  • Server Components reduce client JS
  • Code splitting delays non-critical JS

CLS Optimization:

  • Blur placeholders for images
  • Fixed dimensions for all media
  • No ads or dynamic injections
  • CSS loaded before content
