Vercel Web Analytics Implementation Report

Summary

Successfully verified and optimized Vercel Web Analytics implementation for the severancecalculator project.

Project Details

  • Framework: Static HTML5 website
  • Total Pages: 15 HTML files across the site
  • Implementation Method: HTML5 vanilla JavaScript approach (as per official Vercel documentation)

What Was Done

1. Documentation Review

Fetched the latest official Vercel Analytics quickstart guide from https://vercel.com/docs/analytics/quickstart to ensure implementation follows current best practices.

2. Verification of Existing Implementation

Found that Vercel Web Analytics was already properly implemented across all HTML files:

  • ✅ All 15 HTML pages include the required analytics scripts
  • ✅ Initialization script: window.va = window.va || function () { (window.vaq = window.vaq || []).push(arguments); };
  • ✅ Script loader: <script defer src="/_vercel/insights/script.js"></script>

3. Bug Fix - Removed Duplicate Scripts

Modified: index.html

  • Removed duplicate Vercel Analytics script tags from the <head> section (lines 70-75)
  • The scripts were included twice in index.html, which could cause unnecessary redundancy
  • Kept the first instance (lines 32-36) and removed the second duplicate
  • Also fixed a BOM (Byte Order Mark) character at the beginning of the file

Files with Vercel Analytics (Verified)

All the following files correctly include Vercel Web Analytics:

  1. /index.html (fixed - removed duplication)
  2. /about.html
  3. /contact.html
  4. /blog/index.html
  5. /blog/canada-severance.html
  6. /blog/global-comparison.html
  7. /blog/india-gratuity.html
  8. /blog/pakistan-gratuity.html
  9. /blog/philippines-separation.html
  10. /blog/saudi-gratuity.html
  11. /blog/uae-gratuity.html
  12. /blog/uk-redundancy.html
  13. /legal/disclaimer.html
  14. /legal/privacy-policy.html
  15. /legal/terms-and-conditions.html

Implementation Details

The analytics implementation follows the official Vercel documentation for HTML5 sites:

<!-- 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 approach:

  • Initializes the analytics queue before the script loads
  • Uses deferred loading for optimal performance
  • Works with static HTML sites deployed to Vercel
  • Requires no package installation (vanilla JavaScript)

Testing & Verification

Since this is a static HTML site with no build process:

  • ✅ No package.json exists (static site, no dependencies needed)
  • ✅ No build process required
  • ✅ HTML syntax is valid
  • ✅ Implementation matches official Vercel documentation
  • ✅ All pages consistently implement analytics

Notes

  • This is a static HTML website, so no npm/yarn/pnpm package installation was required
  • The @vercel/analytics npm package is only needed for framework-based projects (Next.js, React, Vue, etc.)
  • For static HTML sites, Vercel automatically serves the analytics script from /_vercel/insights/script.js when deployed
  • The analytics will start tracking once the site is deployed to Vercel and analytics are enabled in the Vercel dashboard

Next Steps

After deployment:

  1. Enable Web Analytics in the Vercel dashboard for this project
  2. Verify analytics data collection in the Network tab (look for requests to /_vercel/insights/*)
  3. Check the Vercel Analytics dashboard after a few hours of traffic to confirm data is being collected
