[SOLVED] Speed up Javascript sources <SCRIPT></SCRIPT>

[carefree]

I have about 8 javascipt src files included in my template and its slowing its down the whole site heaps. Is there a way I can speed it up???

 

<SCRIPT language=javascript src="http://www.site.com/js/script.js"></SCRIPT>

Short and simple - No.

 

Edit:

It may be you're javascripting, try removing some.

Nothing to do with php.

The only thing I can suggest you is optimizing your javascripts.

Dang!!

 

Thought there might have been a way :'(

Delete 6 of them.

 

Honestly, what do you need that much javascript for? There has to be some you can delete.

[carefree]

Yeah I could possibly replace 2 or 3 of the with php

 

Im also using:

 

<? include "http://www.site.com/inc/top.php" ; ?>

 

Will these slow down the site also??

Ok heres one I could replace - a simple onclick popup window can this be converted to php??

 

 <!-- 
function Start(page)
{
OpenWin = this.open(page, "CtrlWindow","toolbar=No,menubar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,resizable=No,status=No,width=200,height=200,left=150,top=150,");
}
//-->

PHP is not client side, its server side. It does different things than javascript.

Server side = Faster.

 

So if i convert all the javascripts to php It should work

Server side = Faster.

 

So if i convert all the javascripts to php It should work

I think what Orio was trying to say is that php won't be able to make popus and alerts, etc.

Yes. You can atleast join them into one script.

<?php // joinscript.php

// optionally disable cache
Header("Pragma: no-cache");
Header("Cache-Control: no-cache"); 
Header("Expires: ".GMDate("D, d M Y H:i:s")." GMT");

function GetCont($file) {
 if (file_exists($file)) {
   $arr = explode("\r\n", file_get_contents($file));
   $retarr = array();
   reset($arr);
   while(list(,$l) = each($arr)) {
     $l = trim($l);
     if (!empty($l))
       $retarr[] = $l;
   }  
   return "\n".implode("\n", $retarr)."\n";
 }
}

echo GetCont('./first_script.js');
echo GetCont('./second_script.js');
     
?>

 

To call such joining use

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="joinscript.php"></script>

Man you just don't get my point... You can't use PHP to pop up windows, show alert messages, and use other events like in javascript. PHP's output is just plain html / javascript (or whatever) sent to the user.

PHP and javascript just do different things.

Yes that worked. It loads within 1 or 2 seconds now
