NextInspect Extension

NextInspect is a developer tool that allows Next.js developers to see network request metrics in Server Side Rendered(SSR) components. Metrics are displayed in a format similar to the native Chrome network devtools, so onboarding and usage is a breeze. Metrics for network requests made in Client Side Rendered components are also shown, eliminating the need to click back and forth between the native Chrome devtools and NextInspect. Please also install the NPM package for NextInspect onto your Next.js app.
