    has anyone ever noticed that their pages load slowly because of the fact that Google analytics has been implemented?

    Yeah the Analytics script can slow things down on your website - usually when there are server problems with Google Analytics servers but it doesn't happen that often in my experience and the occasional lag is a small price to pay for free detailed stats for your site.
    Hope that helps.

    Analytics gives a lot of data, may be that is the reason. And yes, for most of the sites on the web, we can see the status frequently going to google-analytics.com

    I'm SO glad you posted this because thought it was me. YES, Google Analytics is slowing my sites down for sure.

    Use this script to load Google Analytics after visitor has loaded the page completely.

    I personally like to host their ga.js at my own domain. Therefore it won't take as much time to load.
