FYI nextjs is notoriously user hostile and one of the worst pieces of client side code I've ever seen, second only to Widevine. Who dumps 2mb of JSON directly into the HTML?

It's been SSR SPA best practice for a decade at least (when keeping your model data client side).

You can do that and still not dump some really bad markup and JSON. Compare Astro.js output HTML+JS to Next.js and there's a striking difference.

SSR is when the server creates HTML, not JSON. nextjs is very obviously client side rendering
