CONFIGURE INTEGRATION

FRAMEWORK-SPECIFIC SETUP FRAMEWORK_DEPENDENT

◆ NEXT.JS (PAGES ROUTER)

Add the SpeedInsights component to your main app file:

import type { AppProps } from 'next/app';
import { SpeedInsights } from '@vercel/speed-insights/next';

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

export default MyApp;

◆ NEXT.JS (APP ROUTER)

Add the component to your root layout:

import { SpeedInsights } from "@vercel/speed-insights/next";

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        {children}
        <SpeedInsights />
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

◆ CREATE-REACT-APP

Add the component to the main app file:

import { SpeedInsights } from '@vercel/speed-insights/react';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* ... */}
      <SpeedInsights />
    </div>
  );
}

◆ REMIX

Add the component to your root file:

import { SpeedInsights } from '@vercel/speed-insights/remix';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        {/* ... */}
        <SpeedInsights />
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

◆ SVELTEKIT

Call the injection function in your layout:

import { injectSpeedInsights } from "@vercel/speed-insights/sveltekit";

injectSpeedInsights();

◆ VUE / NUXT

Add the component to your template:

<script setup lang="ts">
import { SpeedInsights } from '@vercel/speed-insights/vue';
</script>

<template>
  <SpeedInsights />
</template>

◆ OTHER FRAMEWORKS

Import and call the injection function in your main app file:

import { injectSpeedInsights } from "@vercel/speed-insights";

injectSpeedInsights();

◆ HTML

Add the following scripts before the closing </body> tag:

<script>
  window.si = window.si || function () { (window.siq = window.siq || []).push(arguments); };
</script>
<script defer src="/_vercel/speed-insights/script.js"></script>

DEPLOYMENT

LAUNCH SEQUENCE CRITICAL

DEPLOYMENT METHODS:

Option 1: Direct Deployment

Deploy your app to Vercel's global CDN by running:

vercel deploy

Option 2: Git Repository Integration

Connect your project's git repository to enable automatic deployments on push and merge to main.

✓ READY FOR TRACKING: Once deployed, your app is ready to begin tracking performance metrics. The /_vercel/speed-insights/script.js script should be visible in the body tag of your page.
