Unnecessary Core-JS Polyfills

302 core-js polyfill modules are bundled but already natively supported by the last 2 major versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge — code users download even though their browser already supports it natively. The containing chunk is approximately 110.0 KB (chunk size, not isolated core-js bytes).

Runtime Performance

SSR Performance

Measured on GitHub Actions (ubuntu-latest, Node 24) using custom SSR benchmark apps.

Framework Ops/sec Avg Latency Body Size Duplication
Baseline HTML 708 1.422ms 96.81kb 1x
Next.js 138 7.371ms 199.11kb 2x

Methodology

  • Each framework renders a table of 1000 rows with two UUID columns
  • Mock HTTP requests bypass TCP overhead for accurate rendering measurement
  • Data is loaded asynchronously to simulate real-world data fetching
  • Duplication factor indicates how many times each UUID appears in the response (1x = optimal, 2x = includes hydration payload)
  • Benchmarks run for 10 seconds using tinybench
  • Astro, Nuxt, and SvelteKit handle Node.js HTTP requests natively. React Router, SolidStart, and TanStack Start use Web APIs internally, so benchmarks include the cost of their Node.js adapter layers (@react-router/node, h3, and srvx respectively)
  • Next.js defaults to React Server Components (RSC), a different rendering model than traditional SSR. To keep the comparison fair, Next.js uses "use client" to opt out of RSC and use traditional SSR + hydration like most of the other frameworks
  • Inspired by eknkc/ssr-benchmark

SPA Performance

Measured on GitHub Actions (ubuntu-latest, Node 24) using Lighthouse flow with Chromium.

Framework First Paint FCP INP
Next.js 380.8ms 380.98ms 20.58ms

Methodology

  • Each framework renders a table of 1000 rows with two UUID columns
  • Measured using Lighthouse flow with Chromium via Puppeteer for accurate browser metrics
  • First Paint and First Contentful Paint are measured on initial navigation
  • Interaction to Next Paint is measured by clicking the first row's detail link
  • Benchmarks run 5 times and results are averaged
  • Next.js, TanStack Start, and React Router default to SSR with no per-route opt-out. Next.js wraps the SPA table in a dynamic import with ssr: false to prevent build-time prerendering. TanStack Start uses its built-in spa mode. React Router disables SSR entirely via ssr: false in its config. All other frameworks (Nuxt, SvelteKit, SolidStart, Astro) disable SSR per-route without a separate build.
