Extra client-side call being made when navigating to Algolia page (Next 13, pages dir)

[Karin Meijvogel]

🐛 Current behavior

When using the boilerplate code, navigating from a simple page to a page using InstantSearch, unwanted Algolia requests appear in the network tab in the browser:

In my older projects where I'm using NextJS 12, this issue does not occur. The page simply loads without a client-side call to algolia.

🔍 Steps to reproduce

1. From the homepage, click on the "Go to algolia page" link
2. Notice how a new Algolia request appears in the network tab, as soon as the Algolia page loads

💭 Expected behavior

No client-side algolia call when switching between pages.

This should be fixed in #5854 I believe, can you try that out?

@Haroenv Changing the react-instantsearch version in my package.json like this did indeed help! (Although I'm not sure if this is the correct way to test it):
