Well, seeing at my thread's completely off-topic ( and I'm having to use voda's broken services again as mail, etc doesn't work otherwise and I've not got around to just routing web traffic ) I'll carry on... Just load GA up asynchronously, like you're supposed to - they provide all the snippets you need, and most CMSes support it directly. As a commercial pose, dumping GA is suicidal for obvious reasons ( like looking closely at delivering via SPDY, using pagespeed are also good ideas for them ). Plus the customers want the pretty graphs too, and more especially want a third party to provide stats on how well your changes have improved site usage, etc rather than believing a party with a vested interest... Whether you choose to absent yourself personally is another topic altogether. I find it really sad that apparently there aren't any problems with voda's service at all, according to them.
