Will Lytics affect the load time of my site?

This depends on the installation. For accounts using the asynchronous tag, our default and recommended approach, Lytics will never affect page load times. All of our processing and collection is done in the background while your website loads normally.

For those using the legacy synchronous tag, it is possible for Lytics to affect load times. However, our services will timeout after two seconds and fail gracefully so there is little chance of a prolonged delay in loading due to Lytics related code or services. Proper defaults or fallbacks should be put in place to handle the absence of data returned from Lytics in those instances. If you are using this legacy tag, see our migration instructions or reach out to Lytics support to discuss switching to a more recent version of our tag.
