Google Analytics Code in Header rather than Footer

Hi..

I understand that the best place to include the Analytics code is at the end of the page, so that it can only count "real visits" / 100% page load... (please correct me if I'm wrong)

Since I'm having a little problem with my server response time, I would like to try using the Analytics Code in the Header rather than the footer template (I mean, in order to load first) because if a page take 10 seconds to load, and if the user clicks a link before the Analytics Code to load, I don't know if that is a valid visit/page view...

So, just like a little experiment, I would like to change the place of the analytics code...

I know I could put it manually on my header template, but it there's some option to change the position within vbseo options?

Besides that, can it be true that the position of the code affects the visits tracking? (taking in consideration that a page could take up to 10 seconds to load)

Thanks and sorry about my english!

Hello,

this is not recommended since that may increase the page content load time even more.
If you still want to do that for testing though, you should modify functions_vbseo.php file:
FIND:

PHP Code:

$newtext = preg_replace('#(</body>)#is',' 


REAPLCE WITH:

PHP Code:

$newtext = preg_replace('#()(<body.*?>)#is','\\2
