I'd need to see the site before and after to confirm but maybe it is due to the faster page load speed? Tracking scripts these days are quite heavy and really affect loading times (especially on mobile)

If tracking scripts are correctly set up they’re asynchronous and don’t affect load times.

They load over the wire quickly though the rendering of them and the jitter they can cause on the page gives the impression the page hasn't loaded.

Most of them are not though - I see a lot of unminifed JS and CSS
