I'm having quite a problem. A client's site speed is quite poor, both in GTmetrix and Google Insights. After doing all the usual stuff and good practices I managed to get it to 98% in GT (from 65) and 70 in Insights (from 54). However, those numbers are only real if I don't use GTM.

If I use GTM, it starts to add external resources like mad, see example below (edited for privacy)

Remove the following redirect chain if possible:

And it gets me down to 87 in GT and 60 in Insights, not to mention the load speed grows 1 second. Take GTM off... back to high speed. Add it again... horrible.

SO my question is: is there a way to load GTM without affecting load times? I could take a small hit, just not this ridiculously bad (note: teh GTM code came with the site, so there's a chance it's wrong)
