Implemented Vercel Speed Insights for Next.js
## What was implemented:
Successfully installed and configured Vercel Speed Insights for the Next.js 15.1.0 project using the App Router.
## Changes made:
### 1. Package Installation
- Installed `@vercel/speed-insights` (v1.3.1) using npm
- Updated package.json and package-lock.json with the new dependency
### 2. Code Changes
**Modified: `app/layout.tsx`**
- Added import: `import { SpeedInsights } from '@vercel/speed-insights/next'`
- Added `<SpeedInsights />` component inside the `<body>` tag, after the `<Analytics />` component
- Placement follows best practices for Next.js 13.5+ with App Router
## Why these implementation choices:
1. **App Router Detection**: The project uses Next.js 15.1.0 (newer than 13.5) with the App Router (confirmed by presence of `app/layout.tsx` and absence of `pages/_app.tsx`), so the `@vercel/speed-insights/next` import was the correct choice.
2. **Placement Strategy**: The SpeedInsights component is placed in the root layout's body tag, after the Analytics component, which ensures it's loaded on every page without requiring duplicate imports across multiple layouts.
3. **Zero Disruption**: The implementation preserves all existing code structure and only adds the minimal necessary changes. The existing Vercel Analytics component is left untouched.
4. **Package Manager**: Used npm (detected by package-lock.json) to maintain consistency with the project's dependency management.
## Testing & Verification:
- ✅ Build completed successfully (npm run build)
- ✅ No build errors or warnings introduced
- ✅ Project compiles with the SpeedInsights component integrated
- ✅ All 14 static pages generated successfully during build
## Files Modified:
- `app/layout.tsx` - Added SpeedInsights import and component
- `package.json` - Added @vercel/speed-insights dependency
- `package-lock.json` - Updated with new dependency details
The implementation is minimal, focused, and follows Next.js best practices for performance monitoring integration.
