Move Google Analytics script to the <Head/> (#43838)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Fixes #[37957](#37957)

Google cannot read the Google Analytics script if it is placed at the bottom of the `<body />`.

It can only be read when it's placed here in the `<Head />`

This has been documented by other NextJS users online, and by Google themselves, which directs users to place the script in the head.

Hope this helps NextJS users!
