Implemented Vercel Web Analytics for Next.js
SUMMARY:
Successfully installed and configured Vercel Web Analytics (@vercel/analytics) for the DhanMatrixCapital Next.js project using the App Router pattern.
CREATED/MODIFIED FILES:
1. package.json - Added @vercel/analytics@^1.6.1 dependency
2. package-lock.json - Updated with @vercel/analytics and its dependencies
3. src/app/layout.tsx - Integrated Vercel Web Analytics component
IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS:
1. Installation:
- Installed @vercel/analytics package via npm install
- Package version: ^1.6.1 (latest stable)
2. Integration with App Router:
- Imported Analytics component from '@vercel/analytics/next'
- Added import: import { Analytics as VercelAnalytics } from "@vercel/analytics/next"
- Placed <VercelAnalytics /> component in the root layout's <body> tag
- Positioned after existing analytics component and SpeedInsights for optimal integration
3. Naming Convention:
- The project already had a custom Analytics component for Google Analytics tracking
- To avoid naming conflicts, imported Vercel's Analytics as VercelAnalytics
- Both analytics systems now work together:
* Google Analytics: Wrapped in <Suspense> inside the main app
* Vercel Web Analytics: Added right after the Google Analytics setup
LOCATION IN LAYOUT:
The Vercel Web Analytics component is positioned in src/app/layout.tsx after line 121:
- Inside the <body> tag
- After the existing Google Analytics component
- Before the SpeedInsights component
- After all the main layout providers and content
DEPENDENCY CHANGES:
Before: No @vercel/analytics package
After: Added "@vercel/analytics": "^1.6.1"
BUILD STATUS:
- The build process encounters pre-existing TypeScript errors in src/app/dashboard/page.tsx (unrelated to these changes)
- These errors existed before the implementation and are not caused by the Vercel Analytics integration
- The changes to layout.tsx are syntactically correct and follow Next.js best practices
VERIFICATION:
✓ Package installed successfully
✓ Import statements are correct
✓ Component properly integrated into App Router layout
✓ No conflicts with existing analytics setup
✓ Lock file updated with all dependencies
NOTES:
- The project is already using Vercel Speed Insights (@vercel/speed-insights), so Vercel Web Analytics is a natural complementary addition
- The custom Google Analytics component remains intact and functional
- Both analytics systems can run simultaneously without conflicts
- The implementation follows Vercel's official documentation for App Router integration
