 * I’ve noticed I get this error:
    ReferenceError: _gaq is not defined
 * I’m also using the Google Analyticator plugin – [http://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analyticator/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analyticator/)
 * I did a little research on Stackoverflow and came up with this:
    [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16015364/how-to-set-up-ajax-call-tracking-in-google-analytics](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16015364/how-to-set-up-ajax-call-tracking-in-google-analytics)
 * Is it possible there needs to be some modification to your plugin code?

 * Hi Martin,
 * Whether you add the code directly from Google or you use a plugin, you’ll always
   get this ‘error’. Don’t worry about it. It won’t affect anything.
 * But having said that, I’m going to see whether it is possible to get rid of the
   error anyway.
 * Thanks for the links.
 * Btw, where could I find the error message again. I have seen it as well, but 
   forgot where.

 * I was checking on page loading and saw this in Firebug Console as failing and
   contributing to page loads taking a while to complete.

 * I got rid of the error and will update the plugin soon.
 * Thanks for the tip, Martin.
