We've released skew protection for all plans starting with these frameworks:

  • Astro 5.15.0+
  • Next.js

This feature prevents version mismatch errors when users interact with your site during a deployment. What it fixes When you deploy a new version of your site, users with an open browser tab may still be running the old version. If they navigate to a new page or trigger a request, the browser expects a previous version of your application, but the server returns the new version. This version skew causes:

  • Broken assets and 404 errors
  • JavaScript errors
  • Degraded user experience

How it works Skew protection pins each user session to a specific Netlify deploy, ensuring the browser and server stay synchronized throughout that session. To learn how it works more in-depth, check out our skew protection blog post. Next steps

  • Set up skew protection for your framework
  • Ensure your framework can support skew protection with Netlify using our Frameworks API
