    1. COI disagree. Loading visuals in the browser should be indicating to the user that there's content on the page that they need that hasn't finished loading ie, text, images, video etc. Having loading visuals for a connection to Google Analytics is counter-productive. No user cares whether their statistics are sent to Google Analytics or not, they just want to view the content of the page. So if the page is constantly in 'loading' state when Google Analytics is performing slowly then the user thinks the page hasn't fully loaded yet. Also why does it take a full 21 seconds for it to time out?

    2. COWell I guess we are just going to have to disagree. You can't have one rule for scripts that will affect visual content and one for scripts that don't... there is no distinction between them. I also strongly doubt there is anything Google-end throttling the loading of their scripts. AVG (or any other antivirus) have web security plugins that may be doing some shady jobs that check Google's scripts against their know database, slowing down the process.

    3. COMany studies have shown that if a website takes longer than **3 seconds** to load on a broadband connection (8-10 secs on 56K modem) then trust & credibility is negatively impacted and 40% of your visitors will abandon your site before they've even entered it. If I can get it loading completely in under 3 seconds without Google Analytics and Google Translate, then load those separately via Ajax a few seconds later then that's a good win. And I have managed to do that if you read the question and solution. I got it down from 6.3 secs full load time to 3.6 secs just by doing that. That's good.
