Usage with Partytown

Open oddnavy opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Has anyone explored using analytics.js with Partytown? It can significantly improve performance by moving third-party analytics tools off the main thread.

It would be cool to run Google Analytics / Facebook Pixel / other tools in Partytown whilst using analytics.js. It looks like it should be possible, but I'm interested to know if anyone has tried it.

People have requested this in the past. https://twitter.com/larsbuur/status/1516788082967822349

I'd love to see if this would work or not. Have at it!

Obviously, one way it can be done is like so:

(assuming you have enabled the experimental feature in your next.config file):

<Script src="https://unpkg.com/analytics/dist/analytics.min.js" strategy="worker" />

but then you'd opt into automatic versioning and need do a lot of conditional code around the relevant global.
