Google Analytics Asynchronous Tracking Code

Google has recently developed a new implementation of their Analytics tracking code that collects data more accurately and loads faster. The asynchronous tracking code works like this:

Think of the asynchronous tracking code snippet as a script that uses a "separate lane" to handle part of the processing of your webpage. As the number of cars (or in this case, scripts on your webpage) increases, the asynchronous tracker uses this lane to reduce webpage load time. Websites that use many scripts or rely on rich media content will especially benefit from this new method, but even lightweight sites will see improvements.

In QuantumCMS web sites, the Google Analytics tracking snippet is inserted automatically when you add the unique tracking identifier on the Marketing tab on the Site Configuration screen. 

Now that the asynchronous tracking code is no longer in Beta and is the standard implementation used by Google, we will be updating all QuantumCMS 4 web sites with the new code.
