 * Hi Jeff,
 * Thanks for the plugin, it works great! I was just curious if it uses 1. Asynchronous
   Tracking or 2. the ga.js method?
 * Thanks again!

 * Your choice! There is an option in the plugin settings for either (plus other
   features).

 * Hi Jeff, Thanks for the quick response!
 * I’ve look through the settings and I can not seem to find anything to set the
   tracking method. Is it worded differently in the settings page?
 * Also, I wanted to ask you about your Plugin vs Cloudflare’s GA app. I know this
   is far outside the realm of this forum so no worries if you don’t want to answer.
   I’m paying for Cloudflare for my CDN, so I figured if their services offer any
   discernible advantages I should use them, but I wasn’t sure if moving the responsibility
   to insert the GA code out of WordPress and on to a CDN would offer any performance
   advantage.
 * I know one huge benefit of your plugin is the ability to install separate tracking
   codes on subdomain’s, so that alone will probably keep me with your plugin, but
   wanted to throw it out there after reading your articles.
 * Thanks for everything!

 * By default it’s classic tracking, or you can enable “Universal Analytics” for
   async.
 * I haven’t used cloudflare’s app, so I really can’t speak to that. I know that
   my plugin strives for simplicity, performance, and flexibility, but other than
   that it’s up to you.

 * Excellent! Thank you!
 * Your plugin has been awesome, and the benefit of unique tracking codes on subdomains
   is hard to beat. So I’m GA Google Analytics all the way!
 * Thanks for your help and the great plugin!
