Commit summary for MediaWiki.r108184: ResourceLoader: Add an experimental option to move the main module loading queue (the bottom queue) from the bottom of the <body> up into the <head> , while still being loaded asynchronously. This makes them load earlier, which should make the page load faster. This is the product of a long discussion on bug 27488 * Added a "blocking" state to mw.loader . When loading scripts while the document is not ready, the loader will use document.write() if blocking is true, and append to the <body> or the <head> if blocking is false. If the document is ready, the loader will always append to the <body> * Enable blocking mode while loading the top queue, and disable it after. This ensures that modules in the top queue are still loaded in a blocking way as they were before * If $wgResourceLoaderExperimentalAsyncLoading is true, the bottom queue is also loaded in the head, but with blocking mode disabled. Otherwise, it's loaded at the bottom of the <body> as before * scripts-only and messages-only requests need special treatment: ** in the top queue, they can continue to use <script src="..."> tags because they are blocking ** if the bottom queue is at the bottom of the <body> (experimental async loading disabled), they can continue to use <script src="..."> tags as before ** if the bottom queue is in the <head> (experimental async loading enabled), they cannot use <script src="..."> tags, because those would block. Instead, call mw.loader.load() on the load.php URL Krinkle's comment: See [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApsGwg5TzvlwdG11YVBWMU9WYnVYbzI3Rm9lbGd6S2c google document] for the browser support for this, as tested in a simplified HTML document. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
