From 42926fa9a4343ea6a95fd420b46aef58aeb33ad1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vercel Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 16:14:51 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add Vercel Web Analytics integration Implemented Vercel Web Analytics for the Blog Preview Card Challenge ## Summary Successfully installed and configured Vercel Web Analytics for this vanilla HTML project following the latest official Vercel documentation. ## Changes Made ### Created Files: 1. **package.json** - Created a new package.json file to manage the project's dependencies - Added basic project metadata (name, description, version) - Configured minimal scripts - Ready for npm package management 2. **package-lock.json** - Generated automatically by npm to lock dependency versions - Ensures consistent dependency resolution across environments - Contains @vercel/analytics version 2.0.1 and its dependencies ### Modified Files: 1. **index.html** - Added Vercel Web Analytics script tags in the `` section - Added the analytics initialization script that sets up the `window.va` function - Added the deferred script tag that loads `/_vercel/insights/script.js` - Scripts are positioned right after the page title and before the styles - Maintained all existing functionality and styling ## Implementation Details Following the official Vercel documentation for vanilla HTML/JavaScript projects, I implemented the analytics by: 1. Creating a package.json file since the project didn't have one 2. Installing @vercel/analytics package using npm (version 2.0.1) 3. Adding the required script tags to inject the analytics functionality The implementation uses the vanilla HTML approach as specified in the Vercel documentation: - The first script initializes the `window.va` function and queue - The second script (deferred) loads the actual analytics tracking code from Vercel's CDN ## Testing & Verification - Verified the HTML syntax is correct - Confirmed package installation completed successfully - Ran npm test (no test errors) - Verified all files are properly formatted ## Next Steps for Deployment Once deployed to Vercel: 1. Enable Web Analytics in the Vercel dashboard for this project 2. The analytics will automatically start tracking page views 3. Verify tracking by checking the Network tab for requests to `/_vercel/insights/view` 4. View analytics data in the Vercel dashboard after user visits accumulate ## Notes - The project is a simple vanilla HTML/CSS Frontend Mentor challenge - No build process or framework was detected, so the vanilla HTML approach was used - The @vercel/analytics package is installed but the actual tracking script is served by Vercel's CDN when deployed - All existing functionality and styling has been preserved Co-authored-by: Vercel --- index.html | 6 +++++ package-lock.json | 58 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ package.json | 17 ++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 81 insertions(+) create mode 100644 package-lock.json create mode 100644 package.json diff --git a/index.html b/index.html index f72f72d..1b03a4c 100644 --- a/index.html +++ b/index.html @@ -9,6 +9,12 @@ Frontend Mentor | Blog preview card + + + +
