Hi Walter,
I’ve actually been checking my web pages with Google’s PageSpeed Insights lately and it complains about “render-blocking JavaScript” …
In my case that render-blocker is the Protaculous Action for Freeway, which uses the rather large Prototype framework (about 170k before gzipping), and it uses the slightly older 1.7.0.0 version instead of the latest 1.7.3 too.
I thought about a move to jQuery, but that too would be an external JS file that technically would be “render-blocking,” so I shifted over to putting pure JS on the page, despite the fact I am not well versed in that language.
Putting more on the page itself means I don’t get caching benefits, but it also means fewer server requests. I’m now trying to find the proper balance between server requests and the caching benefits of having external files.
Anyway, thank you for your kind assistance in this discussion!
Sincerely,
James W.
