Image Optimization implementing Next.js in Production Environment
I'm testing a new approach and I'm trying to figure out I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer. Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I'm working with a perplexing scenario with the Next.js Image component when deployed in production. While everything appears to work perfectly in development mode, after building and deploying the app, the images seem to be taking an unusually long time to load, and some are not displaying at all. I noticed that the images served from the static folder are showing a 404 behavior on certain pages, although the paths are correct. Here’s the relevant code snippet: ```javascript import Image from 'next/image'; const MyComponent = () => { return ( <div> <Image src="/images/my-image.png" alt="My Image" width={500} height={300} priority /> </div> ); }; export default MyComponent; ``` I’ve tried using the `next/image` component’s `loader` function to customize the image loading behavior, but it didn’t seem to change anything. Here’s the loader function I experimented with: ```javascript const myLoader = ({ src }) => { return `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL}${src}`; }; ``` Despite defining the base URL correctly in the `.env` file, the image still fails to load. The behavior in the console reads: `GET https://mydomain.com/images/my-image.png 404 (Not Found)`. I’ve also ensured that the image file exists in the `public/images` directory. To troubleshoot, I cleared the cache and even tried accessing the images directly via their URLs, which resulted in a 404 behavior. My Next.js version is 12.1.0. I wonder if this could be related to the way Next.js handles static assets in production versus development. Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this scenario would be greatly appreciated! I'm working on a service that needs to handle this. Is there a better approach? For context: I'm using Javascript on macOS. How would you solve this? This issue appeared after updating to Javascript latest. Is there a simpler solution I'm overlooking? Thanks for any help you can provide! I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 using the latest version of Javascript. Any advice would be much appreciated. This issue appeared after updating to Javascript 3.9. Thanks, I really appreciate it!
