    Hello

    I use CAOS and another plugin call actionnable google analytic.

    This plugin load analytic.js.

    I use your plugin to load gtag.js but it load analytic.js too.

    The js file is loading twice.

    Is there a way (a function?) to disable load aynalytic.js?

    Thank you

    gtag,js is nothing but a wrapper for analytics.js. That’s why it’s loaded as well. There’s no way to disable that, since gtag.js loads analytics.js by itself.

    Why are you loading analytics.js AND gtag.js? Using just gtag.js will suffice.

    in CAOS options i can read: analytics.js is recommended in most situations. When using gtag.js, analytics.js is also cached and updated!

    Yes, you should disable one of the plugins. Cause keeping both will cause double hits. Keep the one you like better, or go with the coolest one, which is of course CAOS. 😉

    Yes, I built that in on purpose, because gtag.js loads analytics.js, as it is a wrapper for it.

    Before, when using gtag.js in CAOS, it would still make an external request to analytics.js. But now, when using gtag.js, CAOS makes a small rewrite in gtag.js, so analytics.js is loaded locally.
