External Js basic question

[robert_gsfame]

I have put all javascript function in my php page, n i found that it takes several minutes just to load the page...my question is

 

if i put all javascript function outside the page (external JS), will this help??

 

thx

External js files get cached by the browser so yes, it will help. They should generally be included just before the closing </body> tag too. This will mean the entire page will load prior to the js, making it at least seem quicker.
