Removing Google Analytics Speeds Up Queries by 65% .. wow, sucks for Google huh

April 22, 2008 – 8:43 pm

Your website may be feeling sluggish when it loads. Betchya dollars to donuts it is your Google Analytics dragging out your load time. :) Removing Google Analytics led to an immediate speed improvement on Primezero i18n Terminal.

When you are designing a web application for 1 user, all that data doesn’t matter. In fact, one could only conclude that Google Analytics ( * cough *, Urchin) was re-tooled by Google for the purpose of selling AdWords. ;)  Smart people.
