Answer 1

This will work if you divide the script into 2 scripts the same way Google Analytics has divided the traditional script into 2 script tags.

Answer 2

i got an easy way to do this... Since analytic js is asynchronous it won't give any problem...

include below code in any js file (Please Note: The code i used is new analytics code provided by google analytics)

var imported = document.createElement('script');
imported.src = 'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-12xxxxxxx-1';
document.head.appendChild(imported);


window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());

gtag('config', 'UA-12xxxxxxx-1');
