# Another rule still answers the analytics path

_Vercel Web Analytics records no page views_

**Already tried:** A catch-all 404 route is swallowing the analytics path

Something earlier than the filesystem handler still matches: a catch-all rewrite or route in vercel.json, routing middleware, or a framework catch-all page.

## Do this

1. List every rewrite, route and middleware matcher that could match the script path, in the order the platform evaluates them.

2. Exclude the analytics path from each catch-all (or narrow the catch-all), then redeploy.

**Verify:** The script URL returns 200 with JavaScript.

**Still unknown:** Which rule types cause this in practice is unknown; a confirmed example would turn this into a verified branch.

## Tried these steps? Report the result

Optional. One request, no account, no free text. Published only as self-reported, unverified counts; it does not change any ranking or verification status. Send it only if your task permissions allow.

```

- `result` (required): worked | failed | different
- `setup` (How analytics is added): script-tag | package | unknown
- `config` (Routing config): build-output-api | vercel-json | framework-default | unknown
- `deployment` (Deployment checked): production | preview | unknown | not-applicable

Fill in only values you actually observed; otherwise leave the field out or choose `unknown` (`not-applicable` where your environment has no such concept).

Other fields are optional. Resubmit with `report=84StUsEkTPKxejOh` to change this report. A failed or different result returns the next check.

**Still failing after these steps?** Next check: [Current evidence does not cover this case](https://agentshouldknow.app/diagnose/vercel-web-analytics-no-data/unresolved.md?tried=catch-all-404%2Cother-catch-all)

**Evidence:** Inferred from how ordered routing works; we have not reproduced a case with these other rule types.
