An inline script was used for Google Analytics which might impact your webpage's performance. Instead, we recommend using `next/script` through the `@next/third-parties` library.
**`@next/third-parties`** is a library that provides a collection of components and utilities that improve the performance and developer experience of loading popular third-party libraries in your Next.js application. It is available with Next.js 14 (install `next@latest`).
The `GoogleAnalytics` component can be used to include [Google Analytics
4](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4) to your page via the Google tag (`gtag.js`). By default, it fetches the original scripts after hydration occurs on the page.
> **Recommendation**: If Google Tag Manager is already included in your application, you can
> configure Google Analytics directly using it, rather than including Google Analytics as a separate component. Refer to the [documentation](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4/tag-options#what-is-gtm)
> to learn more about the differences between Tag Manager and `gtag.js`.
To load Google Analytics for all routes, include the component directly in your root layout and pass in your measurement ID:
```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import { GoogleAnalytics } from '@next/third-parties/google'
> - If you are using the Pages Router, please refer to the [`pages/` documentation](/docs/pages/building-your-application/optimizing/third-party-libraries).
> - `@next/third-parties` also supports [Google Tag Manager](/docs/app/building-your-application/optimizing/third-party-libraries#google-tag-manager) and other third parties.
> - Using `@next/third-parties` is not required. You can also use the `next/script` component directly. Refer to the [`next/script` documentation](/docs/app/building-your-application/optimizing/scripts) to learn more.
