The following information is stored with every data point: | Collected Value | Example Value | | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------- | | Route | /blog/\[slug] | | URL | /blog/nextjs-10 | | Network Speed | 4g (or slow-2g, 2g, 3g) | | Browser | Chrome 86 (Blink) | | Device Type | Mobile (or Desktop/Tablet) | | Device OS | Android 10 | | Country (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) | US | | Web Vital | FCP 1.0s | | Web Vital Attribution | html>body img.header | | SDK Information | @vercel/speed-insights 0.1.0 | | Server-Received Event Time | 2023-10-29 09:06:30 | See our [Privacy Notice](/legal/privacy-policy) for more information, including how Vercel Speed Insights complies with the GDPR. ## How the data points are tracked Once you've followed the dashboard's instructions for enabling Speed Insights and installed the `@vercel/speed-insights` package, it will automatically start tracking data points for your project. The package injects a script that retrieves the visitor's [Web Vitals](/docs/speed-insights/metrics) by invoking native browser APIs and reporting them to Vercel's servers on every page load. Learn more about the [first-party intake data ingestion method](/docs/speed-insights/migrating-from-legacy#first-party-intake), which enables a faster and more reliable experience. ## Resilient Intake In version 2, Vercel generates a random seed at build time and passes it through dynamic configuration. `@vercel/speed-insights` uses this seed to build the injected script URL and intake URLs. The Resilient Intake does not depend on a single predictable URL path for data collection, enhancing reliability and increasing data collection efficiency. > **💡 Note:** Resilient Intake requires version 2 of the `@vercel/speed-insights` [package](/docs/speed-insights/package#whats-new-in-version-2). --- [View full sitemap](/docs/sitemap)
