Google gives me a piece of javascript and tells me to include it in the <head>.
Can I put it at the end of <body> or will some side effects occur if I do that?

Putting it at the end of the
<head>section helps ensure the your metrics are tracked even when a user doesn’t let the page finish loading.They used to tell you to put it at the bottom of the page, before they added support for handling partial loading of pages.
