Should I use React or Next.js for my Nepal business website?

For public-facing websites that need SEO, use Next.js. For internal tools or auth-gated dashboards where SEO doesn't matter, React alone is simpler and faster to deploy.

Next.js for SEO: The Advantage

For Nepal businesses that need Google to rank their pages, Next.js is the better choice. Server-side rendering means Google receives fully-rendered HTML not a blank page waiting for JavaScript. I've seen LCP improve from 4.2s to 1.8s just by migrating from CRA React to Next.js SSG.

When React Is the Wrong Choice

Plenty of Nepal businesses are sold a React build for something that should have been a static site. React earns its complexity when an interface has real state: dashboards, filtering, live data, multi-step flows, anything behind a login. For a five-page company website, React usually adds build tooling and load time without adding value, and a well-built static site will outrank it on mobile.

Use plain React when

The app sits behind a login and SEO is irrelevant: admin panels, internal tools, dashboards, customer portals. Simpler to build, simpler to host, no server rendering to reason about.

Use Next.js when

Pages must rank on Google. Server rendering means Googlebot receives real HTML instead of an empty shell, which matters because client-only React frequently indexes badly.

Use neither when

It is a brochure site with occasional updates. Static HTML loads faster, costs less to host, and is far easier to make Core Web Vitals compliant on Nepal's mobile networks.

The SEO trap

A client-rendered React site can look perfect to you and be nearly invisible to Google. If organic search matters at all, this decision has to be made before the build starts, not after rankings fail to appear.
