Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Gatsby and Next.js?

Gatsby is a web framework (React-based static site generator), while Next.js is a web framework (React framework for production). Both are Framework technologies, so they are often considered alternatives.

Can a website use both Gatsby and Next.js?

Yes. Tech Stack Detector detects each technology independently when you scan a site, so a single page can report both Gatsby and Next.js when both are present.
