REQUIREMENTS & ACTIVATION
TACTICAL PREREQUISITES REQUIRED
  • > VERCEL_ACCOUNT
    Access to Vercel command center. Create account at vercel.com/signup
  • > ACTIVE_PROJECT
    Deployed project on Vercel infrastructure. Deploy new project at vercel.com/new
  • > VERCEL_CLI
    Command-line interface installation required. Use your framework's package manager:
    pnpm i vercel
    # or
    yarn i vercel
    # or

    bun i vercel
ANALYTICS INITIALIZATION ACTIVATION

STEP 1: Dashboard Activation

Navigate to your Vercel dashboard, select your Project, click the Analytics tab, and click Enable from the dialog.

💡 NOTE: Enabling Web Analytics will add new routes (scoped at /_vercel/insights/*) after your next deployment.

STEP 2: Package Integration

Add the @vercel/analytics package to your project:

pnpm i @vercel/analytics
# or
yarn i @vercel/analytics
# or
npm i @vercel/analytics
# or
bun i @vercel/analytics
FRAMEWORK INTEGRATION VECTORS
NEXT.JS PAGES ROUTER FRAMEWORK

For projects using the Pages Router, inject the Analytics component into your main app file:

import type { AppProps } from "next/app";
import { Analytics } from "@vercel/analytics/next";

function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }: AppProps) {
  return (
    <>
      <Component {...pageProps} />
      <Analytics />
    </>
  );
}

export default MyApp;
NEXT.JS APP ROUTER FRAMEWORK

For projects using the App Router, add Analytics to your root layout:

import { Analytics } from "@vercel/analytics/next";

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <title>Next.js</title>
      </head>
      <body>
        {children}
        <Analytics />
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}
REACT + VITE DEPLOYMENT FRAMEWORK

For React projects without Next.js framework constraints, import and call the inject function:

import { Analytics } from "@vercel/analytics/react";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* your content */}
      <Analytics />
    </div>
  );
}
STATIC HTML DEPLOYMENT FRAMEWORK

For plain HTML sites, add the tracking script directly to your HTML files:

<script>
  window.va = window.va || function () { (window.vaq = window.vaq || []).push(arguments); };
</script>
<script defer src="/_vercel/insights/script.js"></script>
💡 NOTE: Static HTML implementation requires no package installation, but offers no route support. This is ideal for legacy sites or static content platforms.
OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT & MONITORING
DEPLOYMENT SEQUENCE EXECUTION

Deploy your application to Vercel:

vercel deploy

For continuous deployment, connect your Git repository to enable automatic deployment of all commits to main branch without terminal commands.

💡 VERIFICATION: If configured correctly, you should observe a Fetch/XHR request in your browser's Network tab from /_vercel/insights/view when visiting any page.
INTELLIGENCE DASHBOARD ACCESS MONITORING

Once deployment is complete and users have visited your site, real-time metrics become available:

  • > DASHBOARD_ACCESS
    Navigate to Vercel dashboard, select your project, click Analytics tab
  • > DATA_MATURATION
    After 2-3 days of traffic, comprehensive analytics panels become available for exploration
  • > CUSTOM_EVENTS
    Pro & Enterprise plans support custom event tracking for user interactions (clicks, submissions, purchases)
ADVANCED CAPABILITIES ENTERPRISE
  • Data Filtering & Segmentation
    Filter analytics by device type, geographic location, referrer, and custom dimensions
  • Privacy & Compliance
    Vercel Web Analytics maintains GDPR compliance without requiring explicit user consent
  • Real-Time Insights
    Live visitor tracking and performance metrics update in real-time
