Minimal Google Analytics Snippet VS FlatGA

Https://davidkunnen.com my personal site https://stockevents.app my main project https://minimalanalytics.com something I made some time ago that people liked. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

Because of that, people have been using Minimal Google Analytics Snippet as a solution. According to minimalanalycs.com website, the Google Tag Manager + Analytics can weigh 73kB (mine weights 93kB!) where the snippet weights only 1.5kB. It looks small but this is a big difference if it's going about web performance. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

To solve this problem, but maintain basic use of your analytics, you can replace Google's tracking method with a snippet, a portion of it, that will do exactly what you need. This snipped is called Minimal Google Analytics and was prepared by DavidKuennen and published in unminified form on GitHub Gist. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

Why not use Minimal Google Analytics which is only 1.5KB in size but it doesn't support full-blown GA or use Analytics JS which is 17KB which support everything except Autotrack (my knowledge) but is prone to Bots. Source: over 2 years ago

Well said. If you only want essential metrics without the heaviness of those tools, try https://flatga.io. Source: almost 3 years ago
