Vercel Web Analytics Installation Complete

Successfully installed and configured Vercel Web Analytics for the Royal Ruby static HTML site.

Implementation Summary

This is a static HTML5 website, so I followed the official Vercel Analytics HTML5 installation instructions from https://vercel.com/docs/analytics/quickstart.

What was already configured:

  • index.html already had Vercel Web Analytics properly configured

What I added:
Added the Vercel Web Analytics tracking code to all remaining HTML pages:

  1. checklist.html - Added analytics tracking
  2. thanks.html - Added analytics tracking
  3. nft.html - Added analytics tracking
  4. privacy.html - Added analytics tracking
  5. terms.html - Added analytics tracking
  6. links.html - Added analytics tracking

Implementation Details

According to the official Vercel documentation, for HTML5 sites, the analytics code should be added to the <head> section of each page:

<!-- Vercel Web Analytics -->
<script>
  window.va = window.va || function () { (window.vaq = window.vaq || []).push(arguments); };
</script>
<script defer src="/_vercel/insights/script.js"></script>

This code:

  • Creates a queue for analytics events before the script loads
  • Loads the Vercel Insights script asynchronously with the defer attribute
  • Uses the /_vercel/insights/script.js path which is automatically served by Vercel

Configuration Verification

Content Security Policy: The existing CSP in vercel.json already allows:

  • https://va.vercel-scripts.com for script sources
  • https://vitals.vercel-insights.com and https://vercel-insights.com for connections

Testing: All existing tests pass (9 tests in 2 test suites)

Coverage: All 7 HTML pages now have analytics tracking:

  • index.html ✓
  • checklist.html ✓
  • thanks.html ✓
  • nft.html ✓
  • privacy.html ✓
  • terms.html ✓
  • links.html ✓

No Package Installation Required

Since this is a static HTML site (not a framework-based app), the @vercel/analytics npm package was NOT needed. The site uses the native HTML5 script-based implementation which is the correct approach for static sites according to the official documentation.

Next Steps

After deployment to Vercel:

  1. Analytics will automatically start tracking page views
  2. Data will appear in the Vercel dashboard after a few days of visitor activity
  3. Check the browser Network tab for /_vercel/insights/view requests to verify it's working
