Next.js

Next.js is a strong fit for Paragraph CMS when you want structured content, server-rendered pages, localized routes, and controlled preview behavior.

Recommended architecture

• fetch published content in server components or route handlers;
• keep preview reads behind draft or preview mode;
• map CMS slugs to route segments directly; and
• trigger cache revalidation from publish webhooks.

Implementation checklist

• create a small content client in your app instead of scattering fetch logic;
• normalize locale handling so routes and CMS locales stay in sync;
• define a preview secret or signed mechanism for draft access;
• separate global content from page-specific content; and
• keep SEO fields close to the page model so metadata can be rendered server-side.

What to automate

• revalidate changed routes after publish;
• rebuild static paths only where needed;
• precompute sitemap and feed data from published entries; and
• log webhook failures so editors are not waiting on silent cache issues.
