Munchkin Mod

With this week's Marketo outage, our website's reaction got us into thinking that we might manage the Munchkin a little differently.

We surely had the Async=true version of the munchkin implemented, as described as no. 2 on Marketo dev (developers.marketo.com/javascript-api/lead-tracking/) but during the outage, our pages were hanging and refused to load.

Our dev team came up with this mod (stackoverflow.com/questions/25786826/marketo-munchkin-synchronous-requests-hurt-js-performance/30300389) and implemented it.

Is there someone who could provide feedback on that mod? Any side effect, lead tracking issues or misbehavior I should be aware of?

Cheers,

Simon

Forcing async "works" for performance but it's equivalent to turning off Click Link activity tracking. (Unfortunately, you aren't actually turning it off, you're making it overwhelmingly unreliable so a fraction of events will still be logged, which is confusing.)
