Un-used script

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

It would be nice to not load unused scripts on every page.
for example tooltip
loads a whole lotta javascript and html

even if it is turned off, it still loads.

I ran a comparison with and without necessary code, with very basic home page, and the size of the html file was half, more like 7-8 kb. 

That isn't much but when our site gets loaded a million times a month it adds up.

On that same note - css files that aren't needed on every page, like ei-tooltip.css & subscription.css, onepagecheckout.css, etc.  could definitely go.

Simple as: 
<%
if pcPageName="onepagecheckout.asp" then
%>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="onepagecheckout.css" />
<%
end if
%>

Maybe it is just me but it peeves me every time I see our site serving up un-needed files.

don't get me wrong, I really really like the Product Cart software, I just hope for a little less inefficiencies.

just trim the fat some, that is all.

	Hi Josh, Did you find any solution to this? I am looking to trim the fat as well. :)

	I made a number of changes to our code, mostly rearranging things, and have seen much improvement in load speed. Cut load speed in half. I wanted to wait a couple months and then look at the results - reveal errors and such. Hopefully this weekend I will have some time to put together a list of basic changes that can be made to speed up "out of the box" product cart. Josh
