Implemented Vercel Speed Insights for HTTPFrequency project.

Changes Made:

Modified Files:

  1. frontend/index.html - Added Vercel Speed Insights script tags to the section
  2. frontend/script.js - Removed incorrect ES6 module import statement

Implementation Details:

This is a vanilla HTML/JavaScript project (not using a framework like Next.js or React), so I followed the official Vercel documentation's instructions for HTML/Other Frameworks integration.

What was added to index.html:

  • Speed Insights initialization script that creates the window.si function
  • Deferred loading of the Speed Insights tracking script from /_vercel/speed-insights/script.js

What was removed from script.js:

  • The ES6 module import statement import { injectSpeedInsights } from '@vercel/speed-insights'; and its invocation
  • This import was not functional in a vanilla JavaScript environment without a bundler

Why These Changes:

  1. Vanilla JavaScript Project: This project uses plain HTML/JS without any build tools or module bundlers, so the ES6 import syntax wouldn't work in the browser.

  2. Script Tag Approach: According to Vercel's official documentation, for HTML/vanilla JavaScript projects, the recommended approach is to add script tags directly to the HTML head section.

  3. Automatic Path: Vercel automatically serves the Speed Insights script at /_vercel/speed-insights/script.js after Speed Insights is enabled in the Vercel dashboard.

Next Steps for Deployment:

  1. Enable Speed Insights in Vercel Dashboard: Navigate to your Vercel project dashboard, select Speed Insights from the sidebar, and click the Enable button.

  2. Deploy: Push these changes to your Git repository or deploy using vercel deploy. The Speed Insights routes will be available at /_vercel/speed-insights/* after deployment.

  3. Monitor Metrics: After deployment and user visits, access the Speed Insights dashboard through your Vercel project to monitor Core Web Vitals metrics (LCP, FID, CLS, etc.).

Technical Notes:

  • No package.json changes required since this is a vanilla JavaScript project
  • No build process or dependencies to install
  • The script loads asynchronously (deferred) to avoid blocking page render
  • Speed Insights will automatically track Core Web Vitals and page performance metrics
  • The tracking is lightweight and won't impact user experience

The implementation follows the latest Vercel Speed Insights quickstart documentation (fetched on May 11, 2026).
