I’m working on adding Google Analytics tracking to my website and I have a question about placement. Google’s documentation suggests putting their tracking script inside the <head> section of my HTML pages.
However, I’ve heard that placing JavaScript at the bottom of the page (right before the closing </body> tag) can help with page loading performance. I’m wondering if I can move the Analytics code there instead.
Will moving the Google Analytics JavaScript from the head section to the end of the body cause any tracking issues? Are there any problems or limitations I should be aware of if I choose this approach? I want to make sure I don’t break the analytics functionality while trying to optimize my page load times.
