Next.js Production Checklist (2025)

  • App Router by default; server components first.
  • Use dynamic = 'force-static' where possible; opt into no-store only for truly live data.
  • Validate all inputs with Zod or similar; never trust forms.
  • Add sitemap.xml and proper canonical URLs; generate OG images per page.
  • Track Web Vitals; fix CLS from fonts and images.
  • Enable image formats webp/avif and limit hero to 1200×630.
  • Add a 404 and 500 page with recovery links.

Save this and run it before every release.
