As long as you've got reasonable caching directives in place and you have a fair number of repeat visitors, I wouldn't worry about it much. Once the files are downloaded, they'll not be downloaded again, so their size is only relevant on the first access.
What would probably be a better use of optimization time is to build a tool that will stitch all the JS files together into one big file. Individual HTTP transactions are expensive, and those still happen for up-to-date checks, even if the file isn't actually downloaded. cheers, barneyb On 7/11/07, Michael Traher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi All, We have developed a large new website and used a number of > javascript libraries along the way for some effects and some ajax stuff. > > I have a feeling that we are only using a tiny proportion of these > libraries, but they are being downloaded in full. > > My question is how to find out what functions are in use across the entire > code base? > > Anyone had to do this kind of optimisation process? > > Any tips or tools that might help? > > (I am already compressing the files in IIS6) > > Cheers > > -- > Mike T > Blog http://www.socialpoints.com/ > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 beta â Build next generation applications today.
