Vercel doesn't show parts of the UI
Hey,
I have a problem with deploying my Nuxt application on Vercel: parts of the UI aren't shown. The first screenshot shows it, if I run
pnpm build
& pnpm preview
. The second screen shows the real result. I think the data is not even sent to the client.
I hope somebody can help me.

Based on the information you've provided, it sounds like you're experiencing an issue where your Nuxt application works correctly in local preview but has rendering issues when deployed to Vercel. This is a common issue that can happen for several reasons.
Possible Causes and Solutions
1. JSX/Component Rendering Issues
There might be an issue with how components are being rendered after compilation. One user reported a similar problem where JSX components worked in development but not after building:
This approach is more similar to React's component usage style and might resolve rendering issues after build GitHub Issue #28289.
2. API Request Caching
Vercel might be caching your API requests, which could prevent fresh data from being displayed. This has been reported as an issue where Vercel caches API responses, even for POST requests:
- You might see
x-vercel-cache: HIT
headers in your responses
- This can affect data fetching and cause UI elements dependent on data to not appear GitHub Issue #19353
3. Client-Side Hydration Issues
If you're using useFetch
or other data fetching methods, there might be issues with how the data is being hydrated on the client side:
- Try wrapping your data fetching logic in useAsyncData
with the correct structure:
This ensures proper server-side rendering and client-side hydration Stack Overflow #78402291.
4. JS Chunk Loading Issues
After deployment, you might experience 404 errors for JavaScript chunks:
- This can happen after every deployment if old assets aren't preserved
- Users might need to hard refresh to get the new chunks GitHub Issue #31336
5. Check Your Rendering Mode
Make sure your rendering configuration is appropriate for your application:
You can use hybrid rendering to specify different rendering strategies for different routes Nuxt Docs on Hybrid Rendering.
Next Steps
1. Check your browser's network tab for any 404 errors or unexpected caching
2. Verify that your data fetching is properly structured for SSR
3. Consider using Vercel's deployment settings to preserve assets between deployments
4. If using Edge-Side Rendering, ensure it's properly configured Nuxt Docs on Edge-Side Rendering
If you need more specific help, please share your data fetching code and any error messages you're seeing in the console.
