🗒️ What

This change gives a wrapper to posthog imports used in the Instruqt component that were breaking SSR for the site. Added in SSR tests that will fail if SSR breaks again in the future

🤷 Why

SSR is extremely important for site SEO

🛠️ How

posthog works off CSR, it's important to have it handled correctly to be rendered after SSR is completed, otherwise it will override the behavior.

• posthog is "browser only" code. During SSR, a user requests the page and then next js runs the react components to generate html
• the generated html is sent to the browser and react hydrates the page
• imports execute immediately when the module loads, so using "import posthog from 'posthog-js' " will still run the CSR code and override SSR

📸 Design Screenshots

how the site looks now with JS disabled when before it was a blank white screen:

🧪 Testing

• Run the code locally or through the vercel preview.
• Disable JS in the devtool console (use the command menu to turn off JS)
  • open devtools (CMD + SHIFT + C)
  • open command menu while devtools are open (CMD + SHIFT + P)
  • search for javascript
  • disable javascript and reload the page
• ensure that the pages still show content
