This plug-in allows you to easily add in the asynchronous Google Analytic code in to the header of your website.
Loading the Google Analytics code asynchronously allows for the rest of your site to load while the analytics code loads in the background and thus increasing the loading speed of your site.
Since Google now actively looks at your websites loading performance to calculates its search engine rankings, this plug-in is well worth a try.
This new version of the plugin fully supports multiple sub domains and multiple top level domains.
This isn't just for beginners. We've also have now added in support for the granular tweaking of variables such as user session times and cookie expiry times. Please check our documentation for all the tweaks you can now do to this plugin. http://www.pbwebdev.com.au/blog/asynchronous-goolge-analytics-plugin-for-joomla
More information about Google Asynchronous method can be found here:
http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/asyncTracking.html
All you have to do is configure the plug-in with your Google Analytic web property ID and enable to plug-in and away you go.
The plug-in renders on initialization and inserts the entire Google Analytic code just before the closing head tag in your website.

Updated to work with Joomla 1.6 and Joomla 1.7
I'd used this extension on another site with a troublesome template and it solved the issue immediately. Because of that experience, I decided to install it to a second site I was developing and it crashed the site completely. The error wasn't the developer's fault; I'd downloaded and installed the wrong version. After contacting the developer, I received an email explaining what the problem might be and how to rectify it. It was a quick fix and after installing the correct version and configuration, the analytics was working properly. I'll use it again - only I will make sure I click the right download button next time :-)
Hi, I have been fighting with a Yootheme warp framework for days. The Warp framework add backslashes to the analytics code and hence will not track the website. I got really fed up and tried everything in the code. No Luck. But when I found this plugin, I had it installed and verified in less than 5mins. This is really great. Thanks thanks thanks
I add this to every new Joomla site I build and I've never had a problem. Less than 2 minutes to install and set up and it works perfectly.
Pros:
1. Easy to Use.
2. Latest code of Google Analytics.
3. Puts the code just before the tag. (I checked this on my website and this part is an important one).

It works. Excellent. And it is very simple. Today I just read the statistics in Google !!
I am a beginner in Joomla. With this extension I easily added Google Analytics to my site in a few minutes. And works perfect.
Thanks a lot!

Never let anyone trick you into editing in your templates or any other code. Just find a simple extension to do the job.
This one does the thing it is supposed to do and have features for the advanced user.
It's simple to use - I have only seen it done more userfriendly in WordPress (but shhhh .... that's another story).
For Joomla this is perfect.

Gotta love extensions that do what they say they do and easily! I've been pining for an update on JAnalytics but my wait is over. Asynchronous Google Analytics has filled the gap beautifully.
When I get paid on this job I'll be back to pay my dues and say thanks with some $$'s!
Great work!
