## Why is the Google Analytics code at the bottom? Google recommends it be placed in the `<head>`.
|
||||
|
||||
The main advantage of placing it in the `<head>` is that you will track the
|
||||
user's `pageview` even if they leave the page before it has been fully loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's a handy quote from [Mathias
|
||||
Bynens](https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/async-analytics-snippet#comment-50) about
|
||||
our placement choice.
|
||||
>I should point out that it’s Google — not me — recommending to place this
|
||||
script before all other scripts in the document. The only real advantage is to
|
||||
catch a pageView call if your page fails to load completely (for example, if the
|
||||
user aborts loading, or quickly closes the page, etc.). Personally, I wouldn’t
|
||||
count that as a page view, so I actually prefer to place this script at the
|
||||
bottom, after all other scripts. This keeps all the scripts together and
|
||||
reinforces that scripts at the bottom are the right move. (Usually I concatenate
|
||||
and minify all my scripts into one .js file — the GA snippet being the suffix.)
|
||||
|
||||
## Do I need to upgrade my site each time a new version of HTML5 Boilerplate is released?
|
||||
|
||||
No, just as you don't normally replace the foundation of a house once it was
|
||||
built. However, there is nothing stopping you from trying to work in the latest
|
||||
changes, but you'll have to assess the costs/benefits of doing so.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where can I get help with support questions?
|
||||
|
||||
Please ask for help on
|
||||
[StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/html5boilerplate).
