SSR & hydration mismatches
Server and client renders drift apart — date formatting, random IDs or browser-only APIs trigger hydration errors and flicker that hurt UX and SEO.
Nuxt 3 Nitro SSR/SSG Vue 3
Nuxt development for fast, SEO-ready Vue apps
We build production Nuxt 3 applications for US and EU companies — marketing sites, SaaS dashboards and content platforms that render server-side, ship to the edge and score green on Core Web Vitals. Our engineers own the full stack: Vue 3 components, Nitro server routes, caching strategy and deploy pipeline. You get a code-split, accessible app that ranks, loads fast and is easy for your team to extend.

Challenges
Industry challenges we solve
SEO & Core Web Vitals
Vue SPAs often ship empty HTML to crawlers and lose ranking; meta tags, structured data and LCP/CLS need to be right on every route.
Nitro server routes & edge
Building a reliable API layer in Nitro, choosing edge vs node runtimes, and handling secrets, env and cold starts across providers is non-trivial.
Caching, ISR & freshness
Balancing route caching, incremental static regeneration and CDN invalidation so content stays fresh without hammering the origin.
Bundle & payload size
Auto-imports, heavy components and unsplit vendor chunks bloat the JS payload, slowing hydration and Time to Interactive.
Accessibility
Client-side routing breaks focus and screen-reader announcements; many Vue UI kits ship inaccessible components by default.
Solutions
Solutions we build
SSR, SSG & ISR sites
We pick the right rendering mode per route — full SSR, prerendered static or hybrid ISR — and eliminate hydration mismatches with deterministic, client-safe code.
Nitro API layer & edge deploy
Typed Nitro server routes for APIs, auth and integrations, deployed to Cloudflare, Vercel edge or Node with proper secrets and runtime choices.
SEO, meta & sitemaps
Per-route meta and Open Graph, JSON-LD structured data, auto-generated sitemaps and canonical/hreflang handling so every page is crawlable and shareable.
Performance & CWV
Code splitting, image optimisation, font and payload trimming, and route caching to hit green LCP, CLS and INP on real devices.
Design system in Vue 3
A reusable, typed component library with Tailwind and tokens, so your team ships consistent UI fast across the whole app.
Accessibility built in
Accessible components, managed focus on navigation, ARIA live regions and CI a11y checks to meet WCAG 2.2 AA.
Stack
Technology stack
Nuxt 3, Vue 3, Nitro, TypeScript, Pinia, Vite, Tailwind CSS, Vitest, Playwright, and deploys to Vercel, Cloudflare and Node.
Compliance
Compliance & regulations
WCAG 2.2 AA · GDPR & cookie-consent · CSP & security headers · privacy-first analytics
EU
- GDPR — we keep personal data out of server-rendered HTML, gate third-party scripts behind explicit consent, and handle form and API payloads in Nitro routes hosted in EU regions.
- EAA & WCAG 2.2 AA — accessible Vue components with semantic markup, focus management across client-side navigation, and keyboard and screen-reader testing as part of CI.
- ePrivacy & cookies — consent-mode integration, no cookies before opt-in, and SSR-safe loading of marketing and analytics tags only after the user agrees.
- CSP & Nitro security headers — strict Content-Security-Policy, HSTS and frame protections set at the Nitro/edge layer, with nonces for any inline scripts.
US
- ADA & Section 508 — WCAG 2.2 AA conformance for public and government-facing Nuxt apps, validated with automated and manual accessibility audits.
- CCPA/CPRA — do-not-sell and opt-out signals respected, minimal data in the rendered payload, and clear handling of consumer requests through Nitro endpoints.
- SOC 2 — hardened build supply chain with pinned dependencies, Subresource Integrity, lockfile audits and reproducible CI pipelines.
- CSP & XSS protection — output encoding, sanitised user content, strict CSP and avoidance of unsafe v-html to keep SSR and client renders safe.

FAQ
Nuxt Development FAQ
How does Nuxt compare to Next.js?
Nuxt is the Vue equivalent of Next.js: both offer SSR, SSG and hybrid rendering, file-based routing and a server layer. If your team prefers Vue 3 or you have existing Vue code, Nuxt is the natural choice; the underlying capabilities are comparable. We build in both and can advise which fits your stack and hiring plans.
What is the difference between SSR, SSG and ISR in Nuxt?
SSR renders each request on the server — best for personalised or frequently changing pages. SSG prerenders pages at build time for maximum speed and cheap hosting, ideal for marketing and docs. ISR (hybrid) prerenders and then revalidates on a schedule, giving static speed with fresh content. Nuxt lets us choose the mode per route.
Can you deploy Nuxt to the edge with Nitro?
Yes. Nitro, Nuxt's server engine, compiles to multiple runtimes, so we deploy to Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge, Netlify or a plain Node server. We choose edge for low-latency global delivery and node where you need long-running processes or specific libraries, handling secrets and env per environment.
Can you migrate our Nuxt 2 app to Nuxt 3?
Yes. We audit your Nuxt 2 codebase, plan the Vue 2→3 and Options-to-Composition migration, replace deprecated modules with Nuxt 3 equivalents and move the server layer to Nitro. For large apps we migrate incrementally so you can ship continuously rather than freezing development.
Will a Nuxt site be good for SEO?
Yes — that is a core reason to use Nuxt over a plain Vue SPA. Server rendering delivers full HTML to crawlers, and we add per-route meta tags, Open Graph, JSON-LD structured data, sitemaps and canonical tags, plus Core Web Vitals tuning so pages rank and load fast.
When should we use Nuxt instead of plain Vue?
Choose Nuxt when you need SEO, fast first paint, server-side data fetching or a backend API alongside your UI — content sites, SaaS marketing, e-commerce and dashboards. A plain Vue SPA is fine for internal tools behind a login where crawlability and first-load speed matter less.
Where can a Nuxt app be hosted?
Anywhere Nitro targets: Vercel and Netlify for zero-config deploys, Cloudflare Workers for global edge, or your own Node/Docker infrastructure for full control. Fully static SSG builds can also sit on any CDN or object storage. We recommend a host based on your traffic, data residency and budget.
