I have a server side rendering application (next.js) needs to be deployed to Vercel. And I’d like to deploy it to multiple regions. I understand that Vercel middleware is on edge and it can be used to forward the request to different url based on geolocation. I also set up a demo from this example:

I’m new to Next.js and facing some issues with page load times. I have pages using Server-Side Rendering (SSR), and when I click on these pages for the first time, it can take more than 5 seconds to load. However, if I navigate to the same page again, it loads in just 1 second, even from a different device. This leads me to believe it’s not related to the browser cache.

I have a website with the frontend hosted on Vercel. When I navigate to certain pages, it takes several seconds to load for the first time. However, if I visit the same page from another device within 2 minutes, the page loads almost instantly. If I revisit the page after a few minutes, it takes several seconds to load again.
