Тормозит весь сайт

Отличный плагин для e-commerce!

Поставил и забыл! Все метрики электронной коммерции передаются без проблем. Спасибо команде Яндекс метрики за плагин!

Не плохо минус нет отложенной загрузки

Нужна настройка отложенной загрузки. Иначе PageSpeed Insights очень сильно просаживает по скорости загрузки.
