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

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.
