Main Features
Static Site Generation (SSG)
Nuxt.js excels at pre-rendering pages into static HTML during the build process. This leads to significantly faster load times, improved SEO, and reduced server costs. Real-world performance data indicates that SSG with Nuxt.js can achieve near-instantaneous page loads, resulting in improved user engagement and conversion rates.
Automatic Route Generation
Nuxt.js automatically generates routes based on the directory structure of your `pages` directory. This simplifies development and reduces the need for manual route configuration. Performance is optimized as routes are pre-defined during build time, improving efficiency and reducing potential errors.
Data Fetching
Nuxt.js provides built-in mechanisms for fetching data during the build process (`asyncData`, `fetch`). This allows you to populate your static pages with dynamic content from APIs, databases, or other sources. Performance is enhanced through efficient data caching and pre-rendering, ensuring optimal speed and responsiveness.
SEO Optimization
Nuxt.js includes features for optimizing your static sites for search engines. This includes customizable meta tags, automatic sitemap generation, and optimized page structure. Performance benefits include improved crawlability and ranking in search results, driving more organic traffic to your site.
Module Ecosystem
Nuxt.js has a rich ecosystem of modules that extend its functionality. These modules can be used to add features such as analytics, content management, and e-commerce capabilities.
