Original: Next.js 16 Cache Components: use cache, PPR, and When to Reach for Each

Short summary

Next.js 16 ships Cache Components, stabilizing Partial Prerendering with a new 'use cache' directive. Routes now mix three content types: static (build-time HTML), cached (async data with revalidation), and dynamic (per-request data in Suspense). The 'use cache' directive replaces unstable_cache with automatic cache key generation and configurable revalidation profiles.

  • Cache Components replaces experimental PPR with a single config switch
  • Three content buckets: static, cached (use cache), and dynamic (Suspense)
  • Tag-based invalidation with updateTag vs revalidateTag for different freshness needs
