# Getting started with Vercel Web Analytics

This guide will help you get started with using Vercel Web Analytics on your project, showing you how to enable it, add the package to your project, deploy your app to Vercel, and view your data in the dashboard.

**Select your framework to view instructions on using the Vercel Web Analytics in your project**.

## Prerequisites

- A Vercel account. If you don't have one, you can [sign up for free](https://vercel.com/signup).
- A Vercel project. If you don't have one, you can [create a new project](https://vercel.com/new).
- The Vercel CLI installed. If you don't have it, you can install it using the following command:

```bash
# pnpm
pnpm i vercel

# yarn
yarn i vercel

# npm
npm i vercel

# bun
bun i vercel
```

### Enable Web Analytics in Vercel

On the [Vercel dashboard](/dashboard), select your Project and then click the **Analytics** tab and click **Enable** from the dialog.

> **💡 Note:** Enabling Web Analytics will add new routes (scoped at `/_vercel/insights/*`) after your next deployment.

## Framework-Specific Instructions

### For Next.js, SvelteKit, Remix, Create React App, Nuxt, Vue, Astro, and Other Frameworks

#### Add `@vercel/analytics` to your project

Using the package manager of your choice, add the `@vercel/analytics` package to your project:

```bash
# pnpm
pnpm i @vercel/analytics

# yarn
yarn i @vercel/analytics

# npm
npm i @vercel/analytics

# bun
bun i @vercel/analytics
```

### Next.js (Pages Directory)

Add the `Analytics` component to your main app file:

```tsx
// pages/_app.tsx
import type { AppProps } from "next/app";
import { Analytics } from "@vercel/analytics/next";

function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }: AppProps) {
return (
<>
<Component {...pageProps} />
<Analytics />
</>
);
}

export default MyApp;
```

### Next.js (App Directory)

Add the `Analytics` component to the root layout:

```tsx
// app/layout.tsx
import { Analytics } from "@vercel/analytics/next";

export default function RootLayout({
children,
}: {
children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
return (
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Next.js</title>
</head>
<body>
{children}
<Analytics />
</body>
</html>
);
}
```

### Remix

Add the `Analytics` component to your root file:

```tsx
// app/root.tsx
import {
Links,
LiveReload,
Meta,
Outlet,
Scripts,
ScrollRestoration,
} from "@remix-run/react";
import { Analytics } from "@vercel/analytics/remix";

export default function App() {
return (
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charSet="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<Meta />
<Links />
</head>
<body>
<Analytics />
<Outlet />
<ScrollRestoration />
<Scripts />
<LiveReload />
</body>
</html>
);
}
```

### Nuxt

Add the `Analytics` component to your main component:

```vue
<!-- app.vue -->
<script setup lang="ts">
import { Analytics } from '@vercel/analytics/nuxt';
</script>

<template>
<Analytics />
<NuxtPage />
</template>
```

### SvelteKit

Add the `injectAnalytics` function to the main layout:

```ts
// src/routes/+layout.ts
import { dev } from "$app/environment";
import { injectAnalytics } from "@vercel/analytics/sveltekit";

injectAnalytics({ mode: dev ? "development" : "production" });
```

### Astro

Add the `Analytics` component to your base layout:

```astro
---
import Analytics from '@vercel/analytics/astro';
---

<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<Analytics />
</head>
<body>
<slot />
</body>
</html>
```

> **💡 Note:** The `Analytics` component is available in version `@vercel/analytics@1.4.0` and later.
> If you are using an earlier version, you must configure the `webAnalytics` property of the Vercel adapter in your `astro.config.mjs` file.

```js
// astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import vercel from "@astrojs/vercel/serverless";

export default defineConfig({
output: "server",
adapter: vercel({
webAnalytics: {
enabled: true,
},
}),
});
```

### Plain HTML

For plain HTML sites, add the following script to your `.html` files:

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

> **💡 Note:** When using the HTML implementation, there is no need to install the `@vercel/analytics` package. However, there is no route support.

### Other Frameworks

Import the `inject` function from the package, which will add the tracking script to your app. **This should only be called once in your app, and must run in the client**.

```ts
// main.ts
import { inject } from "@vercel/analytics";

inject();
```

> **💡 Note:** There is no route support with the `inject` function.

### Create React App

Add the `Analytics` component to the main app file:

```tsx
// App.tsx
import { Analytics } from "@vercel/analytics/react";

export default function App() {
return (
<div>
{/* ... */}
<Analytics />
</div>
);
}
```

### Vue

Add the `Analytics` component to your main component:

```vue
<!-- src/App.vue -->
<script setup lang="ts">
import { Analytics } from '@vercel/analytics/vue';
</script>

<template>
<Analytics />
<!-- your content -->
</template>
```

> **💡 Note:** Route support is automatically enabled if you're using `vue-router`.

## Deploy your app to Vercel

Deploy your app using the following command:

```bash
vercel deploy
```

If you haven't already, we also recommend [connecting your project's Git repository](/docs/git#deploying-a-git-repository), which will enable Vercel to deploy your latest commits to main without terminal commands.

Once your app is deployed, it will start tracking visitors and page views.

> **💡 Note:** If everything is set up properly, you should be able to see a Fetch/XHR request in your browser's Network tab from `/_vercel/insights/view` when you visit any page.

## View your data in the dashboard

Once your app is deployed, and users have visited your site, you can view your data in the dashboard.

To do so, go to your [dashboard](/dashboard), select your project, and click the **Analytics** tab.

After a few days of visitors, you'll be able to start exploring your data by viewing and [filtering](/docs/analytics/filtering) the panels.

Users on Pro and Enterprise plans can also add [custom events](/docs/analytics/custom-events) to their data to track user interactions such as button clicks, form submissions, or purchases.
