 * Hi,
 * I’m doing maintenance and I noticed my GTMetrix score dipped compared to earlier
   this March.
 * I dug around and noticed there was google analytics scripts being called on that
   I didn’t notice before.
 * My GTmetrix score last month
    [https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.cratemill.com/K3fFWHpI](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.cratemill.com/K3fFWHpI)
 * You can see under the waterfall section, there are no google analytics scripts
   called, just google tag manager.
 * My current GTmetrix score
    [https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.cratemill.com/pAxPM3OT](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.cratemill.com/pAxPM3OT)
   There’s two Google Analytics scripts being called now, along with Google Tag 
   Manager.
 * Like to check if the recent updates includes calling on Google Analytics? And
   if no, any idea what is responsible for those scripts being call?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hi Kai,
 * My plugin does not call any external scripts as it “only” helps you build more
   advanced Google Tag Manager setups.
 * GTM will however call analytics.js once you add a GA tag and publish that container.
   Remember, GTM is not a standalone measurement product, it is an additional layer
   between your website and measurement/tracking tags to implement them in a more
   straightforward way.
 * Thomas
