Your local Lighthouse test shows a perfect 100, but when your app hits the real-world production stage, it’s instant Game Over. Welcome to the Next.js Hard Mode!
In this data-driven session, we will bypass marketing hype and put Next.js's real-world performance to the test. Armed with massive global datasets from the HTTP Archive and the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX), we’ll review the built-in optimization power-ups Next.js provides, contrast them with the messy reality of large-scale projects, and hand you a practical cheat code survival kit to rescue your Core Web Vitals before you run out of lives.
