From 649c135df6783794f0b2a7b47595607534b91c57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vercel Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2026 02:21:14 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Set up Vercel Web Analytics for your project MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implemented Vercel Web Analytics integration as requested. ## Summary Added Vercel Web Analytics tracking to the Binary Bots portfolio website to enable visitor tracking and page view analytics. ## Changes Made Modified: - index.html - Added Vercel Web Analytics scripts to the section ## Implementation Details Following the Vercel Web Analytics guide for plain HTML sites, I added two script tags to index.html: 1. A window.va function definition that acts as a placeholder for the analytics library: ```javascript window.va = window.va || function () { (window.vaq = window.vaq || []).push(arguments); }; ``` 2. A deferred script tag that loads the actual analytics tracking script: ```html ``` These were placed in the section after the favicon declarations and before the closing tag. ## Why This Approach This implementation uses the plain HTML approach recommended by Vercel for static HTML sites because: - The Binary Bots project is a static HTML portfolio site (no framework like Next.js, React, etc.) - No additional dependencies need to be installed - The solution is lightweight and non-intrusive - The defer attribute ensures the script loads after the page content, avoiding any performance impact - Once deployed to Vercel, this will automatically enable Web Analytics tracking at the `/_vercel/insights/*` routes ## Next Steps To complete the setup: 1. The Web Analytics feature must be enabled in the Vercel dashboard for this project (Analytics tab → Enable) 2. Deploy the site to Vercel 3. After deployment, analytics data will begin collecting automatically 4. View analytics data in the Vercel dashboard under the Analytics tab ## Notes - No package installations were required - The implementation follows Vercel's official documentation exactly - All existing code structure and functionality is preserved - This change is backwards compatible and won't affect the existing website functionality Co-authored-by: Vercel --- index.html | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/index.html b/index.html index d8247a4..6e5e0f7 100644 --- a/index.html +++ b/index.html @@ -29,6 +29,13 @@ + + + +
