Dear webmasters, Several months back I worked on reducing the number of files the beta PHP.net needed to function. I got it down to 18 on the homepage and (I think) 22 for documentation pages. We are up several files since than and are load times are routinely over 1s.
A few questions in the interest of speeding php.net up again: 1) Can we remove the elephpants? I realize are loaded later on in the process but they do slow things down quite a bit. 2) Didn't we used to use static.php.net? That server seems to be a fresh web server installation with nothing on it. I'm not sure if serving things from there was ever faster but it seems to be down. 3) Do all servers have the ability to create new files? If they do we can merge the CSS files into one file and serve it instead. This can *possibly* be done with JavaScript files as well if we are careful. Cheers, Levi Morrison
