I have a website built in React Js and the same one on Next Js as well.
The problem which I am facing right now is, the router seems very slow in the nextJs compare to react-router-dom, It's taking almost 2-3 seconds to change the route.
Here are the URLs where you can feel the difference between the performance by moving around different pages.

I had read some comments on Github where few experts are saying that It will resolve in production. but It looks same in production too.
Please have a look at the following code
_app.jsx
// import App from 'next/app'
import React from "react"
import Router from 'next/router';
import "../static/sass/application.scss";
import "bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css";
import "slick-carousel/slick/slick.css";
import "slick-carousel/slick/slick-theme.css";
import 'semantic-ui-css/semantic.min.css'
import { wrapper } from "../../redux/utils/store"
import App from 'next/app';
// A simple component that we created
import {LoaderOverlay} from '../components/Reusable'
class MyApp extends App {
constructor(props){
super(props)
this.state = {
isLoading: false,
}
Router.onRouteChangeStart = (url) => {
// Some page has started loading
this.setState({
isLoading: true,
}) // set state to pass to loader prop
};
Router.onRouteChangeComplete = (url) => {
// Some page has finished loading
this.setState({
isLoading: false,
}) // set state to pass to loader prop
};
Router.onRouteChangeError = (err, url) => {
this.setState({isLoading: false,})
};
};
render() {
const {Component, pageProps} = this.props
return (
<div>
{this.state.isLoading ? (
<LoaderOverlay/>
) : (
<Component {...pageProps} />
)}
</div>
)
}
}
export default wrapper.withRedux(MyApp);
_document.jsx
import Document, { Html, Head, Main, NextScript } from 'next/document'
class MyDocument extends Document {
static async getInitialProps(ctx) {
const originalRenderPage = ctx.renderPage
ctx.renderPage = () =>
originalRenderPage({
// useful for wrapping the whole react tree
enhanceApp: (App) => App,
// useful for wrapping in a per-page basis
enhanceComponent: (Component) => Component,
})
// Run the parent `getInitialProps`, it now includes the custom `renderPage`
const initialProps = await Document.getInitialProps(ctx)
return initialProps
}
render() {
return (
<Html lang="en">
<Head>
<link async rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/semantic.min.css"/>
</Head>
<body>
<div className={'main-wrapper'}>
<Main />
</div>
<NextScript />
</body>
</Html>
)
}
}
export default MyDocument
shallowprop on all theLinks. Somehow, still, in production, my cards are taking anywhere from 300ms to 2s to open in a modal. If I use React useState to track the opened card instead of the router, the opening takes 50ms
