How to speed up page loads

[dnar]

Martyn, if you place all the WebFX javascript into a seperate file (ie. webfx.js) then you will reduce each page load by 32k by virtue of the browser cache.. Thats around 30% improvement on the average page here.

I originally tested this hack for XMB and it reduced the page size on my forums by approx 20 - 25%. You can find the details of how I did it in my hacks area. (http://www.dnaresearch.com.au/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=32).

Thanks Wayne, that's a good tip - I'll take a look at it.


Nice mod's in the last day or so BTW, I cant help but think I have seen them somewhere else. :rolleyes:

Good lord, I dont claim authorship of the hacks. The "who was online" which I assume you are referring to, was was posted in Oct 2001 on vBulletin.org here (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34014&perpage=15&display=&pagenumber=1). That's a re-post from a German site (which the hack author fully credits), making the hack about a year old.
