Google have just announced an amazing new feature / change to the way we implement Google Analytics tracking code. It’s called Asynchronous Tracking and basically it means that the GA javascript can be downloaded separately from the rest of the page’s content, resulting in faster load times.

Another nice effect of this is that we can now put GA code at the top of the page, meaning accuracy will increase!

I won’t go into the technical details, you can read those over at the Google Code Blog, and you should check out the migration examples too.
