But that is not pre-rendering. That is Server-Side Rendering (SSR).

NextJS has its own particular nomenclature:

Ah this clears it up for me. No wonder OP’s results were the way they were. Next.js uses “fast” words to describe “slow” processes.
I migrated an app from NextJS to Django to make it fast. Django because there was a lot of python code anyway to interop with. But any of the common MVC frameworks in any language/runtime that let you cache etc. will do. They are pretty mature.

The NextJS big killer for me was optimising page speed was nuts. You always get a fatty JS bundle even if the page is pre rendered or not.
