Pagination with SSG

Learn to implement page based pagination with Next.js and Vercel.

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:

Clone and Deploy

Execute create-next-app with npm or Yarn to bootstrap the example:

npx create-next-app --example https://github.com/vercel/examples/tree/main/solutions/pagination-with-ssg
# or
yarn create next-app --example https://github.com/vercel/examples/tree/main/solutions/pagination-with-ssg

Next, run Next.js in development mode:

npm install
npm run dev


# or


yarn
yarn dev

Deploy it to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).
