## Vercel Speed Insights Implementation
Successfully installed and configured Vercel Speed Insights for this Next.js 16.0.10 App Router project.
### Changes Made
#### 1. Package Installation
- Added `@vercel/speed-insights` version ^1.3.1 to project dependencies
- Used pnpm as the package manager (matching the existing pnpm-lock.yaml)
#### 2. Code Implementation
**Modified: app/layout.tsx**
- Imported `SpeedInsights` component from `@vercel/speed-insights/next`
- Added `<SpeedInsights />` component to the root layout inside the `<body>` tag
- Placed after `{children}` and alongside the existing `<Analytics />` component
### Implementation Details
Since this project uses:
- **Next.js 16.0.10** (newer than 13.5+)
- **App Router** architecture (app/layout.tsx)
The implementation follows the recommended approach for Next.js 13.5+ with App Router:
- Used the `/next` import path for automatic route detection
- No need for manual route prop or usePathname hook
- The component automatically tracks page views and performance metrics
### Files Modified
- `app/layout.tsx` - Added SpeedInsights import and component
- `package.json` - Added @vercel/speed-insights dependency
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` - Updated with new dependency tree
- `tsconfig.json` - Auto-updated by Next.js build (jsx: "react-jsx" and .next/dev/types)
### Verification
- ✅ Build completed successfully (pnpm build)
- ✅ No TypeScript errors
- ✅ All dependencies installed correctly
- ✅ Lock file updated properly
### Notes
The SpeedInsights component will automatically:
- Track Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS, TTFB, FCP)
- Send performance data to Vercel when deployed
- Work alongside the existing @vercel/analytics setup
- Have zero impact in development mode
No additional configuration is required. The component will start collecting performance metrics once deployed to Vercel.
