“JavaScript-heavy approaches are not compatible with long-term performance goals &gt; Larger bundle sizes are unfortunate, but they&#x27;re not the main cause of performance issues. That&#x27;d be images and video sizes, especially if poorly optimized, which easily and immediately dwarf bundle downloads; and slow database queries, which affect server-side code just as much as browser-side code.<p>In network terms JS tends to be downloaded at a higher priority than both images and video so has a larger impact on content appearing<p>JS is also the primary main thread blocker for most apps &#x2F; pages… profile any NextJS app and you’ll see what a horrendous impact NextJS has on the main thread and the visitor’s experience”
