# Vercel Web Analytics Implementation Report
## Summary
Successfully installed and configured Vercel Web Analytics for the Next.js project using the App Router pattern.
## Changes Made
### 1. Package Installation
- Installed `@vercel/analytics` v1.6.1 using pnpm
- Updated `package.json` with the new dependency
- Updated `pnpm-lock.yaml` with all dependency lock information
### 2. Code Changes
Modified: `app/layout.tsx`
- Added import statement: `import { Analytics } from "@vercel/analytics/next"`
- Added `<Analytics/>` component inside the `<body>` tag, positioned after `<SpeedInsights/>` and before the closing body tag
- Preserved all existing code structure and styling
## Technical Details
### Project Structure
- This is a Next.js 15.1.7 project using the App Router (app/ directory)
- The project already had Vercel Speed Insights configured, providing a good pattern to follow
- Uses TypeScript (layout.tsx)
- Uses pnpm as the package manager
### Implementation Pattern
The Analytics component was placed in the root layout following the same pattern as the existing SpeedInsights component:
- Import statement at the top of the layout file
- Self-closing component instance in the body, after children and other tracking components
- This ensures Analytics is loaded on every page in the application
## Verification Steps Completed
1. ✅ **Build Verification**: `npm run build` - Compiled successfully with no errors
- Build output shows all pages generated correctly
- No TypeScript or compilation errors
2. ✅ **Linter Check**: `npm run lint` - Passed with no ESLint warnings or errors
3. ✅ **Dependencies**: Verified package.json was properly updated with `@vercel/analytics`
## Files Modified
- `app/layout.tsx` - Added Analytics import and component
- `package.json` - Added @vercel/analytics dependency
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` - Updated lock file with dependency information
## Notes
- The Analytics component will automatically track page views, web vitals, and other analytics data on all pages
- The component is client-side and doesn't affect server-side rendering performance
- Configuration follows Vercel's official best practices for Next.js App Router integration
