    Optimization

    Hi Everyone,

    This one should get everyone going, i am launching my site next week, but as always I have an issue with download speed and page optimization, have a look at the following list

    1 25869 bytes SCRIPT http://www.stepz.net/acatalog/norcascade_pop_data.js
    1 12564 bytes SCRIPT http://www.stepz.net/acatalog/pop_core.js
    1 10417 bytes CSS http://www.stepz.net/acatalog/actinic.css

    they represent the files I really need to cut down and optimize
    right now My page fully delivered stands at 103KB obviously out of order, I can optimize my html, but what about JS files?

    Please come back with any suggestions you might think off, i am sure a lot of people have the same problem...

    Kind regards
    Chris Marques

    PS : Not dissing your CODE Norman but the files are rather large so we might get lucky and someone might have a suggestion


    Test as you wish www.stepz.net, let me know what you think!

    Hi Chris,
    I had a look at you site clicked on accessories/ids and clicked on the first 2 items more button. You might want to align them a bit better as the pop up info is off to the left and can't be read properly.

    Cheers,

      Apologies,

      I had forgotten the style sheet.

      All is as it should now...

      Thanks Jacy

        If you're using NorCascade then you'll also be loading the 2 Actinic section_tree files as well. These are created by Actinic and can get quite big if you have a lot of sections and a long pathname to your pages.

        Once the menu has loaded once all these files should be in the browser cache and should load in a flash for subsequent page views.

        Anyway the good news is that you can cut norcascade_pop_data.js down to about 9K if you strip all the comments, commented out routines and unused code. It will help if you understand a bit of JavaScript to do this.

        Also I've just posted a new version of NorCascade that comes with a full GUI helper program. Again you can strip down the size of the generated JavaScript by removing unnecessary stuff from norcascade_pop_tail.js.

          The guy who developed the original version of the menu system, also has a good tool that trims the menu code for you. You can find it here

          This may be of some help, if not a good utility to have anyway.
