In Next.js 14 the client side router cache reused the payload of a dynamically rendered page for 30 seconds, so navigating away and back showed stale data with no request to the server. This caught out anyone who expected a round trip after a mutation elsewhere in the app.

Next.js 15 sets the dynamic stale time to 0, so page segments are refetched on navigation. Layouts and loading states are still reused, because a partial render does not re-request them. Static routes keep a 5 minute stale time.

Both values are configurable through experimental.staleTimes in next.config using the dynamic and static keys, if the old behaviour is wanted back. router.refresh() clears the cache for the current route regardless of those settings.
