Adjusted Bounce Rate – Settimeout

Hello,

We are trying to adjust our bounce rate by implementing a settimeout in the google analytics code. We inputted this code into the “Custom Code” of the Google Analytics by Yoast: setTimeout( function() { __gaTracker(‘send’, ‘event’, ‘180_seconds’, ‘read’ ); }, 180000 );

However, Google recommends that this code be placed AFTER the _trackPageview call, but the custom code inputs it BEFORE the _trackPageview call. I looked at our Google Analytics and it seems to be working fine but didn’t know if this would cause other issues with Google Analytics.

Any thoughts?
