I'm optimizing my website using GTmetrix and I've got good grades, but it's still not perfect.
Look at this image for PageSpeed:
And this one for YSlow:
The picture shows that my value is not perfect because I installed the Google Analytics script on my website. If I delete it, I can get a perfect score, but I need Google Analytics to analyze my website.
So how do I optimize the Google Analytics script on my website without removing it?
It's a real pain that Google reccomends this on their own products. I have looked into doing this before and I have found a couple of solutions but nothing is perfect and i've found that having a 100/100 score doesn't really provide a worthwhile improvement over something like 80/100.
There are a few good sites i've found while researching whether I should do this myself. Most sites I have looked at suggest one of the best options is to host the Google Analytics code locally.
