Summary

Cache Components is a developing Next.js architecture that lets Prismic websites combine aggressively cached static content with selectively dynamic, request-time elements, potentially simplifying client usage, accelerating publication updates, and reducing hosting costs. The guide outlines setting up a new Next.js and Prismic project, enabling Cache Components, creating a shared Prismic client, modeling content types and slices, and using cached data-fetching functions with “use cache,” cacheLife, and Prismic cache tags to keep pages current. It shows how dynamic routes and homepages can be statically built or partially prerendered while supporting SEO metadata, reusable slice components, draft previews, and the Slice Simulator. Preview sessions use Prismic references and Next.js Draft Mode to bypass caching so editors see current drafts, while publish and unpublish webhooks selectively revalidate only pages tied to updated Prismic documents. For personalized or otherwise per-request features, uncached components can be wrapped in Suspense and streamed into an otherwise static page, preserving performance while allowing necessary dynamic behavior.
