To make your '''statcounter code asynchronous''', add the word "async" inside the script tag for your statcounter code. Yes, this really does fix the pagespeed problem with statcounter being a render-blocking script. This is new as of HTML5.

Statcounter async code
To make your statcounter code asynchronous, add the word "async" inside the script tag for your statcounter code. Yes, this really does fix the pagespeed problem with statcounter being a render-blocking script. This is new as of HTML5. Your result will look like this:
<!-- Start of StatCounter Code for Default Guide -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var sc_project=YOURPROJECTHERE;
var sc_invisible=1;
var sc_security="YOURCODEHERE";
var sc_https=1;
var sc_remove_link=1;
var scJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
"https://secure." : "http://www.");
document.write("<sc"+"ript type='text/javascript' src='" +
scJsHost+
"statcounter.com/counter/counter.js' async></"+"script>");
</script>
<noscript><div class="statcounter"><img class="statcounter"
src="http://c.statcounter.com/YOURPROJECTHERE/0/YOURCODEHERE/1/"
alt="shopify traffic stats"></div></noscript>
<!-- End of StatCounter Code for Default Guide -->
Your new result in Pagespeed Insights should be better than before.
