Vercel Web Analytics Installation Report

Summary

Successfully installed and configured Vercel Web Analytics for this static HTML documentation site.

Implementation Details

Project Type

This is a static HTML documentation site for the AgDR (AI Governance Decision Record) standard. The site consists of 30+ HTML pages that are either hand-crafted or generated from Markdown files using Pandoc.

Installation Method

Since this is a static HTML site without a Node.js package manager (no package.json), I followed the official Vercel documentation for HTML5 sites. Vercel Web Analytics is implemented using the script injection method recommended for static sites.

Changes Made

1. Added Vercel Analytics Script to All HTML Files (30 files total)

Added the following script snippet to the <head> section of all HTML files:

<!-- Vercel Web Analytics -->
<script>
  window.va = window.va || function () { (window.vaq = window.vaq || []).push(arguments); };
</script>
<script defer src="/_vercel/insights/script.js"></script>

2. Files Modified

  • index.html - Main landing page
  • template.html - Template used for Pandoc MD-to-HTML conversion (ensures all future generated pages will have analytics)
  • All 28 other HTML pages including:
    • getting-started.html
    • sandbox.html
    • ppp-pillars.html
    • technical-details.html
    • And 24+ other documentation pages

3. How It Works

  • The window.va function queue is initialized to collect analytics events
  • The Vercel insights script is loaded asynchronously with defer attribute
  • When deployed to Vercel, the /_vercel/insights/script.js path will automatically resolve to Vercel's analytics infrastructure
  • The script will automatically track page views, user interactions, and web vitals

Framework-Specific Notes

  • Framework: Static HTML (no framework)
  • Build System: Pandoc (for Markdown to HTML conversion)
  • Deployment Target: Vercel
  • Package Manager: None (static site)

Verification Steps Completed

✅ Fetched latest Vercel Analytics documentation from official source
✅ Identified project structure and framework
✅ Added analytics script to all 30 HTML files
✅ Updated template.html for future MD-to-HTML conversions
✅ Validated HTML syntax with Python's HTML parser
✅ No build errors (static HTML site requires no build)
✅ No linting errors introduced

Future Considerations

  1. Template Updates: Since template.html has been updated, any future Markdown files converted to HTML via the GitHub Actions workflow will automatically include Vercel Analytics.

  2. Analytics Dashboard: To view analytics data:

    • Deploy this site to Vercel
    • Navigate to the Vercel dashboard
    • Access the Analytics section for this project
    • Analytics will start collecting data immediately upon deployment
  3. No Additional Configuration Required: The script will automatically work when deployed to Vercel without any additional setup or environment variables.

Documentation Reference

Implementation follows the official Vercel Web Analytics quickstart guide:
https://vercel.com/docs/analytics/quickstart

Specifically used the HTML5 static site integration method as documented.

Files Changed

Total: 30 HTML files + 1 report file

  • Modified 30 HTML files with Vercel Analytics script
  • Created .vade-report (this file)

Testing

  • ✅ HTML syntax validation passed
  • ✅ No build system to verify (static HTML)
  • ✅ No tests exist for this documentation site
  • ✅ All files remain valid HTML after modifications
