    I'm trying to make my site as fast as possible.

    With that in mind, what's the optimal way of adding Google Analytics?

    1. In Genesis / Theme Settings / Header and Footer Scripts / wp_head()
    2. Through a plugin, like Google Analytics by Yoast
    3. Another option you may suggest

    Thanks.

    2nd option will be good as per my knowledge

    Download Genesis Featured Posts Combo Widget | Simple Grid Layouts Plugin for Posts, CPTs and terms

    I know options 1 and 2 are both good, but I'd like to know which is best in terms of site speed.

    Code it's best way for performance, so 1st would be better in my opinion (and I think it would be better introducing it by hand in the child-theme code by enqueueing it... but not very sure if has any difference).

    I use option #1 and see no reason to use any others.

    Just Dave,

    Thanks. That's the conclusion I've come to myself. Why use a plugin when there's a place for the code provided by Genesis?
