Next.js

Next.js development, security, and deployment services

Next.js is the default output for Cursor, v0, and many AI tools. Its server-side features (API routes, server actions, middleware) are powerful but frequently misconfigured by AI-generated code.

Common Next.js issues we find

Real problems from Next.js codebases we've reviewed.

Security

Unprotected API routes

Next.js API routes and server actions without authentication checks, allowing anyone to call them directly.

Security

Server action data exposure

Server actions that return sensitive data to the client or don't validate user permissions before modifying data.

Security

Incorrect middleware configuration

Auth middleware that doesn't cover all protected routes, uses wrong matchers, or can be bypassed with URL manipulation.

Performance

Missing ISR/SSG configuration

Pages that should be statically generated are server-rendered on every request, causing unnecessary load and slower responses.

Bug

Hydration errors

Server/client rendering mismatches from date formatting, conditional rendering, or accessing browser APIs during SSR.

Performance

Improper data fetching patterns

Client-side fetching where server components could be used, or waterfall requests that load data sequentially instead of in parallel.

Bug

Missing error.tsx and loading.tsx

No error or loading boundaries at route segments, causing poor user experience during navigation.

Deployment

Environment variable misconfiguration

Server-only secrets prefixed with NEXT_PUBLIC_, or missing variables causing runtime crashes in production.

Next.js production checklist

Key checks before deploying your Next.js app.

All API routes and server actions require authentication

security

Middleware covers all protected route segments

security

Server-only secrets NOT prefixed with NEXT_PUBLIC_

security

Static pages use generateStaticParams where possible

performance

error.tsx at root and critical route segments

quality

loading.tsx for routes with data fetching

quality

Server components used for data fetching (no unnecessary client components)

performance

next.config properly configured for production

deployment

Image optimization with next/image

performance

Proper caching headers on API responses

Frequently asked questions

Is Next.js App Router or Pages Router better?

App Router is the recommended approach for new projects. Most AI tools generate App Router code. If your app uses Pages Router, we can help migrate or optimize it.

How do I secure Next.js API routes?

Every API route needs auth verification, input validation, rate limiting, and proper error handling. We implement all of these as part of our security review.

Can you deploy my Next.js app to Vercel?

Yes. Vercel is the ideal platform for Next.js. We handle environment setup, domain configuration, build optimization, and CI/CD pipeline.

Why is my Next.js app slow?

Common causes: client-side fetching instead of server components, missing static generation, no caching, large client bundles, and waterfall data requests. We diagnose and fix all of these.
