codegolfing in a text-only web page is next level irony

  This is the standard Google analytics snippet. It's probably automatically minified, maybe code-golfed. In any case, the author of the page did not also write this snippet.

    The funny part that people start to forget is that this version of snippet was introduced when original one (ga.js) was blocked by most of the world (back in the days when Firefox became browser number one and Adblock Plus was in use).
