Fixing the useSearchParams() should be wrapped in a suspense boundary at page Error in Next.js 15 App Router

Next.js 15 introduces a more advanced App Router architecture with React Server Components (RSC) and Suspense for Data Fetching. However, developers often encounter the following errors:

useSearchParams() should be wrapped in a suspense boundary

This issue arises when using useSearchParams() or usePathname() in a client component without properly handling Suspense. In this guide, we’ll explore why this happens and how to fix it correctly.

🚀 Why Does This Error Occur?

The App Router in Next.js 15 follows a server-first approach, and the useSearchParams() hook retrieves search parameters from the URL dynamically. Since search parameters are not instantly available during rendering, React requires them to be wrapped inside a Suspense boundary to handle loading states properly.

Without the Suspense boundary, Next.js throws an error to prevent incomplete UI states.

✅ How to Fix the `useSearchParams()` Suspense Error

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1️⃣ Ensure Your Component is Client-Side

By default, all components in the App Router are server components. However, the useSearchParams() hook is only available inside client components.

Add "use client"; at the top of your component file:

"use client";

import { useSearchParams } from "next/navigation";

export default function MyComponent() {
  const searchParams = useSearchParams();
  const filter = searchParams.get("filter") || "default";

  return <p>Filter: {filter}</p>;
}

2️⃣ Wrap Your Component in a `<Suspense>` Boundary

Since useSearchParams() depends on the router state, Next.js 15 requires it to be wrapped inside React’s <Suspense> component.

Modify your page.tsx or layout.tsx like this:


import Footer from "@/components/Footer";
import Header from "@/components/Header";
import StyledComponentsRegistry from "./components/styledregistery";
import Config from "@/components/Config";
import { Suspense } from "react";
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
    return (
        <Suspense loading="loading...">
            <html lang="en">
                <body>
                    <StyledComponentsRegistry>
                        <Config />
                        <Header />
                        <main role="main">{children}</main>
                        <Footer />
                    </StyledComponentsRegistry>
                </body>
            </html>
        </Suspense>
    );
}

🎯 Conclusion

The useSearchParams() should be wrapped in a suspense boundary at page error in Next.js 15 happens because search parameters may not be available immediately.

✅ wrapping root layout in suspense worked for me

✅ To fix this issue:

Use "use client"; at the top of your component.
Wrap the component inside a <Suspense> boundary to handle loading states.
if still have this error than wrap the root layout.js with suspense
Consider reading searchParams from a server component to avoid this issue altogether.

By following these best practices, you can effectively manage search parameters in Next.js 15 App Router while ensuring smooth user experiences! 🚀
