title: SWC Failed to Load
---
## Why This Message Occurred
Next.js now uses Rust-based compiler [SWC](https://swc.rs/) to compile JavaScript/TypeScript. This new compiler is up to 17x faster than Babel when compiling individual files and up to 5x faster Fast Refresh.
SWC requires a binary to be downloaded that is compatible with your system. In some cases this binary may fail to load either from failing to download or an incompatibility with your architecture.
## Possible Ways to Fix It
When on an M1 Mac and switching from a Node.js version without M1 support to one with, e.g. v14 to v16, you may need a different swc dependency which can require re-installing `node_modules` (`npm i --force` or `yarn install --force`).
On Windows make sure you have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installed. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist
Alternatively, you might need to allow optional packages to be installed by your package manager (remove `--no-optional` flag) for the package to download correctly.
In some cases your package manager (e.g. `npm`) might have generated a lockfile that only includes `optionalDependencies` specific to the platform it was generated on, preventing the `optionalDependency` needed for CI from being installed.
This can be fixed by removing the lockfile and regenerating it with a newer version of your package manager `npm i -g npm@latest`.
If SWC continues to fail to load you can opt-out by disabling `swcMinify` in your `next.config.js` or by adding a `.babelrc` to your project with the following content:
```json filename=".babelrc"
{
"presets": ["next/babel"]
}
```
Be sure to report the issue on [the feedback thread](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/30468) so that we can investigate it further.
