After reading this post I tried using my blog with GA enabled and disabled. It is slowing down the site a bit, but not much. And because the script is located at the footer, the user can navigate and read my posts normally while it is loading. I’m using GA and Woopra, I think they complete each other.

The tracking code should always be placed right before the BODY tag ends. @Stephen Downes server logs are fine and all but they are seriously lacking in the measurement of unique visitors as well as rich user interaction. Also, see my comments on the original post at http://tinyurl.com/boxo54 in a nutshell: it's only slow the first time around.

Since I have Woopra, Analytics will stay removed.

My domain is hosted on a European server and a lot of users complained that because of G.A. the site loads slower. All I did was to remove the G.A. code from the header to the footer of the site's code and now it moves better. But I still think of moving to a different free statistics service. Anyway, good article :) I can confirm that G.A. is slowing down servers. My domain is hosted on a European server and a lot of users complained that because of G.A. the site loads slower.

And when I compare the hits shown in GA vs hits shown in other stats scripts, it apparent that others are blocking GA as well.

That's where GA shines for us non-geeks. Stephen: yes, “Every web server keeps complete access logs” but ever tried getting access via a nice interface and reporting templates?

Every web server keeps complete access logs. Additional page tracking is not necessary, and is needless overhead on page load times. Not worth the trouble.
