+# Large Page Data
+
+#### Why This Error Occurred
+
+One of your pages includes a large amount of page data (>= 128KB). This can negatively impact performance since page data must be parsed by the client before the page is hydrated.
+
+#### Possible Ways to Fix It
+
+Reduce the amount of data returned from `getStaticProps`, `getServerSideProps`, or `getInitialProps` to only the essential data to render the page.
