Cold ISR Page

This is a cold page with revalidate: 60 (1 minute).

Characteristics

• Low traffic (5% of requests)

• Short TTL ensures freshness when accessed

• Content often served stale then revalidated

• Good for long-tail content

Cache Behavior

0s    → Fresh (just generated)
59s   → Fresh (within TTL)
60s   → Stale (triggers revalidation)
61s   → Fresh (if revalidation completed)

Stale-While-Revalidate

When a cold page is accessed after TTL:

1. User gets stale content instantly (no waiting)

2. Background revalidation starts

3. Next user gets fresh content

This pattern is ideal for rarely-accessed pages where freshness isn't critical.

Use Cases

• Archive pages

• Old blog posts

• Legacy documentation

• Deep-linked reference pages
