you can do this by returning an empty array inside your generateStaticParams. Like that no route will be build. Then make sure to to enable ISR using this: https://nextjs.org/docs/canary/app/building-your-application/data-fetching/incremental-static-regeneration

And after that it will generate no routes during build time but when a user visits a route, the route will be cached and only revalidated when you call revalidatePath for example

@B33fb0n3 It doesn't seem to work
I get these Cache headers:

cache-control: private, no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate

This is my code:

export const dynamicParams = true
// export const revalidate = 60 // also doesn't work

export async function generateStaticParams() {
  // do not delete this, otherwise SSR pages won't be cached
  return []
}

Or is this expected? Am I missing something?

check the cache header. Check if you get a HIT or a MISS

I am not using Vercel, I don't see such kind of header:

where do you host? Does it have a serverside data cache?

I am using coolify with a vps

@Dutch try adding

export const dynamic = "force-static";

to the page, i had to do this on my vercel deployed app to get it to be statically generated/cached at request time.

I will try this!

That worked! I also get headers now too
