Well clearly we can't remove analytics, and if we changed analytics to a different (faster) provider someone would have a cow... We could lower our image sizes, but let's be honest that would result in the dreaded JPGing. Our Javascript is a hand crafted wonder that we just rebuilt for the 6th time in the past decade in a new modern better framework so clearly that cannot be the problem. Therefore I'm leaning towards adding a CDN to lower the first byte time, or yelling at our DNS provider to speed up their side. /s

Just load the analytics async, ezpz
