Exploring the New Features of Next.js 13
summary
Next.js 13 adds an app directory, a new Image component with responsive resizing and native lazy loading, an updated Link with hover prefetching, and a server-loaded self-hosted font system. Migration is simple (import from next/image or use next/legacy/forward_image for old code). A community survey reports 70% of users saw Core Web Vitals improve; concrete gains target FCP, LCP, CLS, TTI and speed index by reducing image bytes, eliminating layout shifts, and preloading critical assets to lower time-to-interactive and bounce rate.
