Poor page rendering performance at scale
9/10 CriticalNext.js exhibits slow page rendering performance in production: basic pages take 200-400ms, large dynamic pages exceed 700ms, and crawlers hitting multiple pages simultaneously cause site crashes. Caching is unpredictable across replicas.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with Vercel for developers in 2025?”3/30/2026
Scaling Next.js is problematic due to bad cache invalidation across replicas. ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration) cache invalidation works best on Vercel but causes issues on alternative deployments. Makes it easy to start but harder to grow.

Basic page renders were taking 200-400ms. Large pages, especially ones with dynamic content, could spike well beyond 700ms. If a Google crawler or our Ahrefs SEO monitoring tool hit multiple pages at once, the site would start crashing multiple times per week.
