Google Analytics code hanging some sites

G.A. site slower than tar, blog is down

If anyone is having problems this morning, it may be due to their Google Analytics code - it is hanging several .NET sites with the same shopping cart (custom for the industry) that I have seen.

Google Analytics blogspot (probably hosted @ same location as adwords/analytics) is also down, logging into Adwords/Analytics is EXTREMELY slow.

Removed the G.A. code, everything is fine again...an unpleasant surprise for a Wednesday morning!

I am also seeing this. Anything that tries to connect to ssl.google-analytics.com hangs for a long time. This isnt happening universally. It hangs on our company network but everything works fine on my home network. What the heck is google doing now? How many other people are getting this?

Who knows how many peoples networks networks arent working correctly with ssl connections to google analytics. I got a feeling they are getting hate mail today.

It seems that firefox is mostly loading pages, but showing they are still loading (even though all items are viewable). IE6 shows absolutely nothing. Pfft.

I'd met this problem with firefox sometime.
