   By default, requests from the frontend to the server are not prefixed with any host. For example, a fetch request like fetch('/api4/users') will be sent to /api4/users. One problem this has is if the server is being hosted on a subpath, or for some reason the server's SiteURL happens to be a different host than the domain that the frontend is connected to, we need to prefix the API calls with the SiteURL.

   An example before the fix:

   fetch('/api4/users');

   But we want

   const siteURL = getSiteURL(state);
   fetch(siteURL + '/api4/users');

   The link in this issue's description is to a different project, just to show how to get the SiteURL. This fix needs to be applied to other plugin projects as well, such as the nps plugin here. The SiteURL is currently not being used in the frontend portion of the nps plugin.
