ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration)

Quick Definition

ISR is a hybrid rendering strategy in Next.js that regenerates static pages in the background after a set interval.

In context

ISR combines the speed of static generation with the freshness of server rendering. Useful for ecommerce product pages, blog content, and any page where content changes occasionally but not per request.
