Streaming UI with Suspense & Loading States
Improve perceived performance by streaming server-rendered UI with React Suspense, loading.tsx files, and skeletons so users see content sooner.
The Waterfall Problem
If a page waits for every data fetch before rendering, users stare at a blank screen. Streaming lets the server send ready parts of the page immediately and fill in slow parts as they finish.
What is Streaming SSR?
Next.js with the App Router can stream HTML in chunks. The shell and fast components arrive first; slow data-dependent sections stream in when ready, improving Time to First Byte and perceived speed.
