The GA [regular template](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/blob/master/tpl/tplimpl/embedded/templates/google_analytics.html) handles GA4 asynchronously, making the [async template](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/blob/master/tpl/tplimpl/embedded/templates/google_analytics_async.html) irrelevant after July 1, 2023. > On July 1, 2023, standard Universal Analytics properties will no longer process data ([see announcement](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/10089681?sjid=13630743966888028312-NA)). Seems like we should start warning users soon-ish. See <https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/8549#issuecomment-1510435834>.
