Google Analytics, Google Analytics tracking is asynchronous, the tracking code is designed to take advantage of the Web browser support asynchronous JavaScript technology, the latest version of the asynchronous techniques, Superficial. using the Google Analytics tracking code to load the rest of the contents of the page at the same time. 

    Speed!Using the traditional Google Analytics tracking code, it may be a small delay, such as the JavaScript code to load and run independently in a Web browser. [1] [2] When installed correctly, you must use a browser, the monitoring shall be carried out in the GA asynchronous, even if the rest of the page content is generated at the same time.  Thus the entire page load faster, add user satisfaction and helps reduce bounce rate.

Another huge advantage is more accurate Visitor tracking.  Installed correctly by using the Google Analytics tracking code, the sooner it to load when the page is loaded that calculate which users can select off, before the page is fully loaded. [1] [2] this is particularly useful for large, complex Web pages of the media and/or tracking visitors with slow Internet speeds.

  We ran tests the speed of your home page, 5 tests as an average over and found using asynchronous tracking code to reduce page download speed of approximately 1/4 second (246 in milliseconds). This is useful, as well as search engine optimization users that, because Google is of the opinion that the page is loaded by the speed of the Search rankings. 

How to install the tracking code in an asynchronous is as easy as copy & paste, but accurate implementation is necessary.These basic instructions assume you have a Google Analytics account; if not, you can set up a free account.

To remove the tracking code, the existing active substances, where necessary, the traditional Google Analytics. If your GA tracking code has been adapted to take account of the adjustments, your code will move to the new version. Add save your Google Analytics web property for the product ID number asynchronous tracking code snippet.Customize a new code snippet, if applicable. Place prepared the Google Analytics tracking code to your Web page, asynchronous, AND AT THE TOP in the source code, the appearance of the other JavaScript code and before the closure of the closing head tag tag after the monitoring.(See this Google Analytics lets page details) download the updated page and check the HTML code to ensure that the new Google Analytics tracking code is placed in the report to check the website users are reported as expected during the next properly. Check.

Upgrading to Google Analytics Asynchronous Tracking

Posted By WebAdvantage.net on Aug 17th, 2010

Google Analytics asynchronous tracking is the latest version of the Google Analytics tracking code designed to take advantage of web browser support of asynchronous JavaScript technology.  In a nutshell, using asynchronous technology allows the Google Analytics tracking code to load at the same time as other page content.

Speed! Using the traditional Google Analytics tracking code, there may be a slight delay as the JavaScript code is downloaded and executed independently within the web browser.  When properly installed, GA asynchronous tracking will run within the browser while other page content is being rendered at the same time.  This allows the overall page to load faster, increasing visitor satisfaction and helping to reduce bounce rate.

Another huge benefit is more complete visitor tracking.  Properly installed Google Analytics tracking code allows it to load sooner while the page is loading, which can count visitors that may click away before the page is fully loaded.  This can be particularly helpful on large, media-intensive web pages and/or tracking visitors with slow internet speeds.

We ran speed tests on our own home page, averaged over 5 tests and found using the asynchronous tracking code reduced page loading speed by about 1/4 second (246 milliseconds).  This is beneficial for both site visitors and search engine optimization since Google considers page loading speed as a factor in search rankings.

Installing the asynchronous tracking code can be as easy as copying & pasting, but accurate implementation is a must.  These basic instructions assume you have a Google Analytics account; if not, you can set up a free account here.

Remove the existing traditional Google Analytics tracking code, if applicable. If your GA tracking code has been customized, save a copy of your code to migrate customizations into the new version.Add your Google Analytics web property ID number to the asynchronous tracking code snippet. Customize the new tracking code snippet, if applicable.Place the prepared Google Analytics asynchronous tracking code in the TOP of your web page source code, after the appearance of any other JavaScript code and before the closing closing head tag tag.  (See this Google Analytics help page for detailed instructions.)Load the updated page and check your HTML code to ensure the new tracking code is placed properly.Check your Google Analytics reports the next day to verify site visitors are being reported as expected.

Below are two screen capture images showing the traditional vs. asynchronous tracking code.  In practice you would replace the “xxxxx-x” with your web property ID number provided by Google Analytics.
