    Use ga-lite, which is a small, cacheable subset of Google Analytics JS client, created by Jesse Luoto. Note that this uses an API that is actually supported by Google.

    You can install ga-lite to your project by adding the following code to the ended of your HTML <body>. You can download the file locally to your server or your own CDN as well.

    Code:
    <script>
(function(e,t,n,i,s,a,c){e[n]=e[n]||function(){(e[n].q=e[n].q||[]).push(arguments)}
;a=t.createElement(i);c=t.getElementsByTagName(i)[0];a.async=true;a.src=s
;c.parentNode.insertBefore(a,c)
})(window,document,"galite","script","https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/ga-lite.min.js");

galite('create', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X', 'auto');
galite('send', 'pageview');
</script>
    This includes the most recent version of ga-lite to your site and initializes the script with your own UA code. See more documentation on GitHub.

    Lower down my Webpagetest Fully Loaded time from 4-5 seconds to 2-3 seconds (with Adsense).

    This is great, the only downside is whenever GA APIs get updated or deprecated, you will have to wait for the developer to release the new version with the updated APIs.

    After using this for 43 days now, only issue I observe was not correct Site Speed stats.

    Offloading Google Analytics to be served on your own domain is to improve page load speed - so that is what I see from your GA stats. You can verify by also comparing Avg Dom Content Loaded and Avg Dom Interactive times in GA and Cloudflare Browser Insight stats for the domain over the same period.
