Significantly reduced page load time

I've been on a quest to speed up my blog for a long time, and reducing the number of requests my previous Google Analytics plugin was making (and the amount of code it was injecting onto my site) was a major tipping point for getting my pages loading lightning fast after making some other site-wide optimizations.
I'm using the minimal analytics option with the plugin and it took my GA file size down to 2kb (instead of 17kb where it previously was with Monster Analytics). This plugin is incredibly simple, easy-to-use and straight forward... it does exactly what it says!
