Hi, all! i just wanted to take a moment to share a tip which i don't see used too often on live sites:
Combine all of your JS scripts into a single file. This helps reduce the load time of the page by reducing the number of separate GET requests. In principal you should be able to do the following to combine the files: cat file1.js file2.js file3.js > all.js but some scripts do not work with this because they are missing a trailing semicolon (shame on them!). A simple workaround is: for i in file1.js file2.js file3.js; do cat $i echo ';' done > all.js If you're using GNU Make to build your project, here's a bit of Make code which does this: mega.js.inputs := jquery.pack.js interface.js \ jquery.blockUI.pack.js jquery.contextmenu.packed.js \ jquery.idTabs.pack.js \ jquery.colorPicker.js \ jquery.bogoTabs.js $(mega.js.inputs): $(mega.js): $(mega.js.inputs) @echo "Creating $@ ..."; \ for i in $(mega.js.inputs); do cat $$i; echo ';'; done > $@ # ^^^^^ without the extra semicolon, the included file doesn't work Obviously, edit $(mega.js.inputs) to suit your project.
