Link to the code that reproduces this issue

https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/v15.5.15/packages/next/src/shared/lib/head.tsx

To Reproduce

next/head does not update the document <title> or any other head tags when used inside page components with the Pages Router in Next.js 15.3+.

Current vs. Expected behavior

Current Behavior

next/head has no effect when used inside page components with the Pages Router. The <title> tag and any other tags injected via next/head are not rendered in the document <head>. No errors or warnings are thrown in the console, making this silent and difficult to debug.

// pages/index.tsx
import Head from 'next/head';

export default function HomePage() {
  return (
    <>
      <Head>
        <title>My App</title>
        <meta name="description" content="My description" />
      </Head>
      <main>Hello</main>
    </>
  );

TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by using the next/head component in a way that is compatible with the Pages Router in Next.js 15.3+, potentially by utilizing a different approach to updating the document head.

Guidance

  • Verify that the next/head component is being used correctly within the page component, ensuring it is not being conditionally rendered or nested in a way that could prevent it from updating the document head.
  • Check the Next.js documentation for any updates or changes to the next/head component in version 15.3+, as there may be new requirements or best practices for using this component with the Pages Router.
  • Consider using a different method to update the document head, such as using the useEffect hook to manually update the title and meta tags.
  • Review the code in packages/next/src/shared/lib/head.tsx to understand how the next/head component is intended to work with the Pages Router.

Example

No example is provided, as the issue does not include sufficient information to create a specific code snippet.

Notes

The issue may be related to changes in the Next.js framework, and resolving it may require updating the code to be compatible with version 15.3+. Without more information, it is difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The issue can likely be resolved by using a different approach to updating the document head, such as manually updating the title and meta tags using the useEffect hook. This is because the next/head component may not be compatible with the Pages Router in Next.js 15.3+.
