## Vercel Web Analytics Implementation Report
### Task Completion
Successfully installed and configured Vercel Web Analytics for the Next.js project.
### Summary
The project already had `@vercel/analytics` package (version ^1.6.1) declared in its dependencies, but the implementation needed optimization. The Analytics component was already imported and added to the root layout, but it was incorrectly positioned outside the `<body>` tag.
### Changes Made
#### Modified Files:
1. **apps/web/app/layout.tsx**
- The `<Analytics />` component was moved from inside the `<html>` tag (but outside `<body>`) to inside the `<body>` tag
- This follows Next.js and Vercel Web Analytics best practices for App Router projects
- The component is now placed after the `<Providers>` wrapper but still within the `<body>` tag, ensuring proper tracking initialization
### Implementation Details
**Project Type:** App Router (Next.js with app directory)
- Confirmed by presence of `apps/web/app/layout.tsx`
- No Pages Router (_app.tsx) found
**Package Manager:** pnpm (confirmed by pnpm-workspace.yaml and pnpm-lock.yaml)
- All dependencies were installed using `pnpm install`
- No additional package installation was needed as `@vercel/analytics` was already declared
**Import Statement:**
```typescript
import { Analytics } from "@vercel/analytics/next"
```
**Component Placement:**
```typescript
<body className={...}>
<Providers>{children}</Providers>
<Analytics />
</body>
```
### Verification
✅ Build completed successfully with no errors
✅ ESLint checks passed for modified code
✅ No TypeScript errors
✅ Project structure preserved
✅ All existing code functionality maintained
### Notes
- The Analytics component provides anonymous telemetry to Vercel about Next.js usage patterns
- Users can opt-out by setting environment variables if needed
- The positioning inside the body tag ensures scripts load after the DOM is initialized
- This implementation is compatible with Next.js 16.0.10 and React 19.2.1
