What is a Publish Error?

A publish error occurs when there is an issue with a component or page, causing the deployment to halt.
When a publish error happens, a toast notification saying “Failed to publish because there is an error on a page.” appears.
At this time, a Review button is displayed, allowing you to identify which component is causing the problem.

Common Causes

  1. Component Build Timeout

    When Framer creates a page, it loads and assembles components one by one. If any component is too slow or becomes unresponsive, the publish will fail once time runs out.
    For example, you might see a message like ensureComponentsInLoader: Component loader not updated in time in the web inspector (developer tools).

    Resolution

    Try publishing again. If it keeps failing, you need to modify or remove the problematic component.


  2. Missing Component Error

    If you’re using a component created earlier but it’s been deleted, renamed, or failed to load properly, issues may arise. In Framer, such components appear as gray boxes in the layer panel.
    By pressing the Review button, you can swiftly identify the problem spot.

    Resolution

    Reload or create a new component to replace those indicated as gray boxes.

What is an Optimization Error?

Framer optimizes by pre-rendering pages from the server to display sites faster. However, since this server is not a browser, it cannot recognize certain user information as shown below.

  • Cookies

  • Window size

  • Language

  • Browser objects like window, document, navigator

If a custom code component or Override you created tries to access this information, the server will not be able to execute that code and will display an Optimization Warning.

Optimization Status

  1. Optimized

Description

  • Framer successfully renders the page on the server

Cause

  • All code is perfectly compatible with the server environment

Outcome

  • Fast loading speed

  • Excellent SEO

  • Smooth user experience

  1. Optimization Warning

Description

  • Optimized with minor issues in code or structure

Cause

  • Direct use of browser-only APIs such as window, document

  • Nested links or incorrect structure

  • Failure to meet accessibility standards

Outcome

  • Some content loads slowly

  • Pages may appear slow or unstable

  • Decreased accessibility

  1. Optimization Error

Description

  • Failed server rendering of the page

Cause

  • Excessive access to browser-only APIs

  • Complex code errors

Outcome

  • Server rendering failure

  • No code minification/bundling

  • Slow speed, poor SEO

  • Lower Core Web Vitals scores

Note: You can check the optimization status in Settings → Domains or Settings → Versions.

Why is this Important?

  • Even at a warning level, some pages might appear empty or have content show up slowly.

  • If errors occur, the affected page may suffer in quality metrics like SEO and Core Web Vitals.

Code Components to Watch Out For

The most common cause of optimization errors is code components that use browser-only APIs like window, document, navigator. These values do not exist in a non-browser server environment.

In such cases, consider using conditional rendering or

```js
if (typeof window !== "undefined") {
  // window가 있을 때만 실행되도록 처리
}
```

refactoring your code in line with Framer's guide to optimize properly.
Note: For detailed guidance, refer to 'How to fix custom code optimization errors'.
