Next.js getStaticProps vs. getServerSideProps

29 Jun, 2020

Main difference between getStaticProps and getServerSideProps

getStaticProps

• fetch data at build time
• page loading is much faster than getServerSideProps

getServerSideProps

• fetch data at run time
• use it when the data to fetch is unknown at build time, e.g. fetch random data. If using getStaticProps, the result will be the same every time.
