Pagination with SSG

This example shows how to implement page based pagination with SSG in Next.js.

Demo

https://pagination-with-ssg.vercel.app

How it works

The first 5 paginated pages are cached in the edge at build time, and the rest are incrementally cached using ISR, that way we can avoid increasing build times no matter how many pages we have while still keeping essential pages cached from the start.

The example showcases a PLP (Product Listing Pages) where:

  • There are 100 test products and 1 category (PLP)
  • There are 10 results per page for a total of 10 pages, where 5 are pre-generated with getStaticPaths
// pages/category/[page].tsx
export const getStaticPaths = async () => {
return {
// Prerender the next 5 pages after the first page, which is handled by the index page.
// Other pages will be prerendered at runtime.
paths: Array.from({ length: 5 }).map((_, i) => `/category/${i + 2}`),
// Block the request for non-generated pages and cache them in the background
fallback: 'blocking',
}
}

How to Use

You can choose from one of the following two methods to use this repository:

One-Click Deploy

Deploy the example using Vercel:

Clone and Deploy

Execute create-next-app with pnpm to bootstrap the example:

pnpm create next-app --example https://github.com/vercel/examples/tree/main/solutions/pagination-with-ssg

Next, run Next.js in development mode:

pnpm dev

Deploy it to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).
