    Hi there, who are you? I was looking into how Nordcraft added the Google Tag because, in my case, it is impacting performance significantly. I noticed that Nordcraft isn't using Google Analytics, or if they are, it’s not visible in the header. What do you use guys? Since the Google Tag was affecting performance, I added async set to true. Do you know if this affects the Google Tag in any way? It worked to reduce the down rate of lighthouse and is visible in google tag manager, but maybe some of you tested this and find that maybe asyc included in this way limits the tag.

    Thank you!

    Nordcraft uses Posthog for analytics. You can use the Pixel plugin to help with Google Analytics: https://pixel.toddle.site/

    If you're open to PostHog, I created a package for it here: https://posthog.toddle.site/

    pretty much any analytics will immediately tank "pagespeed" scores
  • run them as a component so you can control when they fire if you care about that

    Adding that async true reduced it a lot, I'm doing tests for checking if everything is ok with the tag.
