Root Cause
Page failed during static generation. Async data fetch failed or dynamic content used without proper boundaries.
genericWorkarounds
-
90% success Use export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic' for pages that can't be statically rendered
// app/dashboard/page.tsx export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic' // Or for specific segments: export const revalidate = 0

-
88% success Wrap dynamic content in Suspense boundaries for streaming
import { Suspense } from 'react' export default function Page() { return ( <Suspense fallback={<Loading />}> <AsyncDataComponent /> </Suspense> ) }Sources: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/loading-ui-and-streaming
-
85% success Use try/catch in async components to handle data fetch failures gracefully
async function DataComponent() { try { const data = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data') if (!data.ok) throw new Error('Fetch failed') const json = await data.json() return <div>{json.title}</div> } catch (error) { return <div>Failed to load data</div> } }Sources: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/data-fetching/fetching
Dead Ends
Common approaches that don't work:
-
Disable static generation entirely
65% fail
Loses all SSG performance benefits; pages become fully dynamic
-
Wrap entire page in try/catch and return empty page on error
70% fail
Hides real data fetching bugs; users see blank pages
