Command-line interface installation required. Use your framework's package manager:pnpm i vercel
# or
yarn i vercel
# or
npm i vercel
# or
bun i vercel
STEP 1: Dashboard Activation
Navigate to your Vercel dashboard, select your Project, click the Analytics tab, and click Enable from the dialog.
STEP 2: Package Integration
Add the @vercel/analytics package to your project:
# or
yarn i @vercel/analytics
# or
npm i @vercel/analytics
# or
bun i @vercel/analytics
For projects using the Pages Router, inject the Analytics component into your main app file:
import { Analytics } from "@vercel/analytics/next";
function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }: AppProps) {
return (
<>
<Component {...pageProps} />
<Analytics />
</>
);
}
export default MyApp;
For projects using the App Router, add Analytics to your root layout:
export default function RootLayout({
children,
}: {
children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
return (
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Next.js</title>
</head>
<body>
{children}
<Analytics />
</body>
</html>
);
}
For React projects without Next.js framework constraints, import and call the inject function:
export default function App() {
return (
<div>
{/* your content */}
<Analytics />
</div>
);
}
For plain HTML sites, add the tracking script directly to your HTML files:
window.va = window.va || function () { (window.vaq = window.vaq || []).push(arguments); };
</script>
<script defer src="/_vercel/insights/script.js"></script>
Deploy your application to Vercel:
For continuous deployment, connect your Git repository to enable automatic deployment of all commits to main branch without terminal commands.
Once deployment is complete and users have visited your site, real-time metrics become available:
