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.

Asynchronous Google Analytics: Excellent! Five stars, two thumbs!
It only takes less than a minute to download, install the plugin, then perform a very simple configuration without the panels are confusing.
File with the small size (only 6 KB), a simple display options .. but it works well and is very satisfying. For those of you who use Joomla 2.5, this plugin is a great solution.
Thank you very much for PB Web Development Australia for making this plugin.

I was using another highly rated and reviewed plug in and found that it did not work.
Google Webmaster Tools would not verify my sites.
Installed this one and problem solved.
Easy!

Makes it easy and simple to utilise Google Analytics on a joomla site. Quality work!
Nice plugin, thanks! Very simple to install and configure.
The extension is so simple and yet offers a benefit by installing the code from Google above the head section of the code. This is in the area recommended by Google. Just enter your account number/code and enable it.
As templates are getting more complex they are requiring we edit the template php files to put in Google Analytics code. This plugin was suggested by the YooTheme team, and it works great! Now I can easily apply template updates without having to re-edit the files each time. Thanks for this! It took less than 3 minutes to download, install and activate. Super simple!
This plugin puts the code exactly where google prefers it. The plugin is just as simple to use as it should be. Just put the tracking code, activate it and you are done.
Thanks
