Problem

The header navigation components were causing SSR hydration errors during production builds.

Errors observed:

  • document is not defined
  • Hydration mismatch between server and client
  • Build failures on pages using header navigation

This happened because browser-only logic (DOM access, hover interactions, animations)
was executed during server-side rendering.

Solution

  • Converted header navigation components (Product, Solutions, Docs, Resources)
    to client-only rendering using next/dynamic with ssr: false
  • Ensured browser-specific logic runs only on the client
  • Prevented server from attempting to render DOM-dependent components

Result

  • npm run build completes without SSR/hydration errors
  • Header navigation works correctly in the browser
  • Production-safe SSR behavior restored

Files Changed

  • components/ui/header.tsx
  • components/nav/productSection.tsx

Verification

  • Local npm run build passes
  • No hydration warnings in browser console
  • Navigation dropdowns function as expected
