Does anyone know what this means for US websites that use Google Analytics and are visited by people in China? Not that many of my website visitors are in China but I'm wondering if it will also stop the tracking code from working. I'm guessing it would since it won't be able to connect back to GA.
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoThe same thing that happens when we visit websites with Facebook embedded. It just fails.
- andybak 14y ago'it' being the embedded component or the whole page? My guess is that it would depend on whether the old sychronous code or the newer async GA code was used. Not sure if the former is even still supported.
- ams6110 14y agoThe browser will get a 404 when it tries to load the GA script, or simply get a tcp connection refused. It won't affect the rest of your site unless you are depending on other assets served from google.com.
- Torgo 14y agoI maintain sites using both the older synchronous and newer asynchronous Google Analytics. I also personally as a matter of course block Google Analytics using a few adblock rules. As a user I have never experienced page breakage due to blocked analytics, and as a site maintainer I have witnessed that you simply don't get analytics information from those users. I've had clients freak because their Google ecommerce data doesn't add up, but in the end that information relies on trusting the client.
