# Vercel Web Analytics Implementation ## Summary Successfully implemented Vercel Web Analytics for the MusAudio project. This enables tracking of page views, user interactions, and web traffic analytics through Vercel's dashboard. ## Changes Made ### Modified Files 1. **index.html** - Added Vercel Web Analytics tracking scripts - Added a script to initialize the `window.va` function for analytics tracking - Added a deferred script tag to load the Vercel insights tracking script from `/_vercel/insights/script.js` - These scripts are placed in the `<head>` section before the closing `</head>` tag 2. **package.json** - Added @vercel/analytics dependency - Added `@vercel/analytics` version `^1.6.1` to the dependencies - This package provides integration utilities for various frameworks ### Installation - Installed `@vercel/analytics` package using npm - Updated package-lock.json with the new dependency ## Implementation Details For this vanilla JavaScript/HTML project using Vite, I implemented the plain HTML script approach as recommended by Vercel's documentation. This approach: 1. **Initializes the tracking function**: The `window.va` function is set up to queue analytics calls 2. **Loads the tracking script**: The `/_vercel/insights/script.js` script is loaded asynchronously with the `defer` attribute This implementation: - ✅ Works with static HTML sites - ✅ Requires no route support configuration (built-in at Vercel) - ✅ Has minimal performance impact (deferred loading) - ✅ Is compatible with the project's Vite build system - ✅ Works with Vercel deployment ## How It Works Once deployed to Vercel: 1. The analytics script automatically loads and begins tracking page views 2. Vercel will expose a `/_vercel/insights/view` endpoint that receives analytics data 3. Analytics data will be visible in the Vercel dashboard under the Analytics tab 4. No additional code changes are required - tracking happens automatically ## Next Steps for Users 1. **Enable Web Analytics**: Enable Web Analytics in the Vercel dashboard for this project (Analytics tab → Enable) 2. **Deploy**: Deploy the application to Vercel to start collecting analytics 3. **View Data**: After a few days of traffic, analytics will be visible in the dashboard under Analytics → Filtering ## Testing - ✅ Build completed successfully with Vite - ✅ No new linting errors introduced - ✅ Existing project functionality remains unchanged - ✅ HTML parsing validates correctly ## Notes - The `@vercel/analytics` package is included for potential future enhancements (e.g., custom events) - For now, the plain HTML implementation uses automatic tracking without custom events - Users on Pro and Enterprise Vercel plans can add custom event tracking in the future Co-authored-by: Vercel <vercel[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
