No, you don't need to be concerned. The browser will cache those files and won't request them on each connection.

Whenever you have concerns about performance you should just try out both methods. Many times performance issues are a red herring. Put all 5 links in your html and hit the page. Does it load incredibly slow? If it does it's probably not because of those links.

Subject: [OT] HTML Performance question
Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2002 15:16:36 -0500

Sorry for the lame html question, but I would like tap into the vast
experience in this list.

Is there a performance consideration when linking to external files (css or
javascript )that may not always needed for each page.

I was told to watch out for this.

The reason I ask is that I am setting up mainpage layout for use with tiles
and I would like just include
all the possible files even if the page will not not need it.
In addition, there will be nor more than 5 at the most

<LINK rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<html:rewrite page='/css/pageStyle.css'/>">
<SCRIPT src='<html:rewrite page='/js/general.js'/>'></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src='<html:rewrite page='/js/calendar/calendar.js'/>'></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src='<html:rewrite page='/js/date.js'/>'></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src='<html:rewrite page='/js/validations.js'/>'></SCRIPT>


Do I need to be concerned?
