Partial prerendering: New rendering model for web applications
Vercel introduced Partial Prerendering (PPR), a hybrid rendering approach combining static edge delivery with dynamic capabilities, available as an experimental preview in Next.js 14. PPR aims to address data fetching waterfalls and edge delivery challenges while becoming the default rendering model for web applications.
At this year’s , we discussed the developer and user experience challenges of global delivery of dynamic web applications. How can we fetch data without expensive waterfalls and also deliver content directly from the edge?Next.js Conf
The answer to all of these current challenges: Partial Prerendering (PPR).
PPR combines ultra-quick static edge delivery with fully dynamic capabilities and we believe it has the potential to become the default rendering model for web applications, bringing together the best of static site generation and dynamic delivery.
