Hello there. When calculating the Moz spam score, it takes into account whether the google tag manager is on the site. Do you think I should use google tag manager?
 
Don't use any Google services. They are spying on us. They are EVIL.

P.S. Stop asking stupid questions. It's embarrassing.

Thanks for posting a comment. It's actually not a stupid question. I use tag manager + google analytics + yandex metrica. It is causing slowdown on my site. I wonder what effect it will have if I remove it.
 
I'm sure Metrica is causing 80% of the impact. Try removing its tag, you will be good to go. I'm telling from my own recent experience.

And, why would you need both metrica and analytics at the same time? I assume it's because of the webvisor feature :)

Google analysis is not counting correctly. I don't know why, but the bounce rate is 5 10 seconds on page 92. I have very long articles on my site and I've been climbing the ranks for months. Google would penalize me for such bad experience. I even wrote to the Google team, but they did not respond.
 
Yes... As GTM tracks the number of people who watch them and also include stats like watch time and when they drop off. This kind of information can improve on-page SEO.

Sry I am noob, how about using Google site tag (Google analytics code) on website? Since I think it also collecting data like that, it could be harmful to on page loading speed, not?

Even when a user spend 25 minutes reading an article on your site, but leaving without going though other pages or completing any goals or events, analytics will display a visit time of 0.
One way to overcome it is to trigger an event to fire avary second. Then you'll have accurate time on site.

Using google site tag affects page loading speed at the same time.
 
One of the best tools in the arsenal of a digital marketer is a tag. That’s a custom snippet of code, running on a website or app, that sends information to a third-party system.
The problem with tags is that there are a lot of them.
If you want your website to send different types of data to various third-party systems, you’ll need to deploy separate tags to specific pages on your website.
So, generally go for it.
