Implemented Vercel Web Analytics for TextGlow ## Summary Successfully configured Vercel Web Analytics for this vanilla JavaScript/Node.js project following the latest official documentation from Vercel (fetched June 11, 2026). ## Changes Made ### Modified Files: - **public/index.html**: Updated the analytics script source URL from `/_vercel/insights/script.js` to `https://cdn.vercel-insights.com/v1/script.js` ## Implementation Details This project uses a Node.js server serving static HTML, which falls under the "static HTML site" category for Vercel Analytics implementation. According to the official Vercel documentation (https://vercel.com/docs/analytics/package), static HTML sites should implement analytics using a direct script tag approach: ```html <script> window.va = window.va || function () { (window.vaq = window.vaq || []).push(arguments); }; </script> <script defer src="https://cdn.vercel-insights.com/v1/script.js"></script> ``` The HTML file already had the analytics initialization code in place, but was using a relative path `/_vercel/insights/script.js`. I updated it to use the recommended CDN URL `https://cdn.vercel-insights.com/v1/script.js` as specified in the latest documentation. ## Package Information The `@vercel/analytics` package (version 2.0.1) was already listed in package.json and is now installed in node_modules. While this package is typically used for framework-specific implementations (React, Next.js, Vue, etc.), for this vanilla JavaScript project, the direct script tag approach is more appropriate and requires no build step. ## Testing - ✅ Server starts successfully on port 3000 - ✅ HTML file is served correctly with the analytics script included - ✅ Analytics script is loaded from the correct CDN URL - ✅ No build errors or warnings ## Next Steps for Deployment Once deployed to Vercel: 1. Enable Vercel Web Analytics in the Vercel Dashboard for this project 2. The analytics script will automatically start tracking page views 3. Verify tracking by checking the browser's Network tab for requests to the Vercel Analytics endpoint 4. View analytics data in the Vercel Dashboard ## Notes - Analytics tracking only works in production mode, not in development - The implementation is privacy-friendly and GDPR compliant - All page views are tracked automatically without additional configuration - Custom events can be tracked using the `window.va()` function if needed in the future Co-authored-by: Vercel <vercel[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
