Async Mode
Runtime compilation of content files.
Introduction
By default, all Markdown and MDX files must be precompiled—even when running the development server. This requirement can increase startup time for large documentation sites.
To improve performance, this template enables Async Mode by default, allowing content files to be compiled at runtime instead.
Constraints
Async Mode introduces some limitations to MDX features:
- No import/export statements are allowed inside MDX files. If you need to use custom components, pass them through the
components
prop instead. - Images must be referenced using URLs (e.g.
/images/test.png
). Avoid relative file paths like./image.png
. Place your images inside thepublic
folder and reference them via their public URL path.
