must be a package that is creating this issue. try to pair down as many packages in package.json as you can do can and then add them one by one and see what the time to compile is.

Pair down as many packages? What do you mean by this?

your package.json. reset it back to the default packages.

Okay, by the way these are my current dependencies

"dependencies": {
    "better-sqlite3": "^11.1.2",
    "drizzle-orm": "^0.31.4",
    "next": "14.2.4",
    "react": "^18",
    "react-dom": "^18"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/bun": "^1.1.6",
    "@types/node": "^20",
    "@types/react": "^18",
    "@types/react-dom": "^18",
    "drizzle-kit": "^0.22.8",
    "eslint": "^8",
    "eslint-config-next": "14.2.4",
    "postcss": "^8",
    "tailwindcss": "^3.4.1",
    "typescript": "^5"
  }

In case You think there is a package that is creating this issue, as Pual stated above, You can try using the optimizePackageImports feature inside of the next.config.js options.

Okay, I'll try that

Which packages should I put in the optimizePackageImports? All of them? Or as Paul said, one by one to find the one causing it and then put that one inside?

Some of the packages are optimized by default.

Take a look here: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/next-config-js/optimizePackageImports

Find out which of those are not optimized by default and try either adding them all, or adding them one by one in case You really want to find out which one of them is causing the issue.

tailwind, postcss, drizzle, sqlite3 are the ones you have added to the default install of nextjs

I could be wrong, but I don't think optimizing will help. As these are common packages and everyone would be having issues

Alright thanks y'all for the support, I really appreciate it
