# Vercel Speed Insights Installation
Successfully installed and configured Vercel Speed Insights for the Forest web application.
## Changes Made
### 1. Package Installation
- Installed `@vercel/speed-insights@^2.0.0` package using npm
- Updated `apps/web/package.json` with the new dependency
- Updated `package-lock.json` with the dependency tree
### 2. Component Integration
Modified `apps/web/app/layout.tsx`:
- Added import statement: `import { SpeedInsights } from "@vercel/speed-insights/next"`
- Added `<SpeedInsights />` component to the root layout, placed alongside the existing `<Analytics />` component inside the `<body>` tag
## Implementation Details
This Next.js 14 project uses the App Router, so I followed the official Vercel documentation instructions for App Router (v13.5+). The SpeedInsights component was added to the root layout file to ensure it's included on all pages of the application.
The component is placed at the end of the body tag, following the same pattern as the existing Analytics component. This ensures proper tracking across all routes without affecting the application's performance or user experience.
## Verification
✅ Build completed successfully - all pages generated without errors
✅ All tests passed (31 tests in QuizModal.test.tsx)
✅ No TypeScript or linting errors introduced
✅ Lockfile properly updated with new dependencies
## Next Steps
To complete the setup:
1. Deploy the application to Vercel
2. Navigate to the Speed Insights section in your Vercel project dashboard
3. Click the "Enable" button to activate Speed Insights
4. Verify the tracking script appears in your page after deployment
The Speed Insights component is now ready and will automatically begin collecting performance metrics once enabled in the Vercel dashboard.
