Causes of the Incompatibility

The @vercel/speed-insights module is a Next.js plugin that provides speed insights for your Next.js application. However, the plugin is not compatible with Next.js v12 due to changes in the Next.js API.

yarn add @next/navigation

Step 2: Update @vercel/speed-insights

Next, update the @vercel/speed-insights module to use the @next/navigation package. You can do this by creating a new file called speed-insights.config.js in the root of your project and adding the following code:

module.exports = {
  // Update the navigation module to use @next/navigation
  navigation: require('@next/navigation'),
};

Step 3: Update Next.js Configuration

Finally, update the Next.js configuration to use the new @next/navigation package. You can do this by adding the following code to your next.config.js file:

module.exports = {
  // Update the navigation module to use @next/navigation
  navigation: require('@next/navigation'),
