Yesterday, Google announced a new Asynchronous Tracking Code for Google Analytics. While initially in Beta, the code will allow for tracking of events before all the scripts on your page load. Should be a great improvement for rich media or large content site tracking.

The new tracking snippet offers the following benefits:

• Faster tracking code load times for your web pages due to improved browser execution
• Enhanced data collection and accuracy
• Elimination of tracking errors from dependencies when the JavaScript hasn’t fully loaded
