Lynx won't load Google Analytics scripts for sure. On the other hand your user agent string will be pretty much unique on the web. Partly because approximately no one is using Lynx and partly because Lynx leaks the versions of itself and just about every related library on your system in the UA string.

Fortunately you can easily override the UA string in Lynx: https://electrictoolbox.com/lynx-user-agent/

lynx -useragent="Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)" -head -dump http://www.example.com/
