Our application JS is bloated with minified libraries, while our actual application Javascript barely amounts to more than two hundred lines. I propose removing these libraries from our sass file, and instead load them as separate resources in `<link>` and `<script>` tags. This has several advantages: - By using common CDNs, users are likely to have many of these libraries cached already. - Even if the files aren't cached, the CDN is likely to deliver them faster. - We can use the HTML5 'async' attribute to load these libraries asynchronously, so users aren't held up while they download. - Our fully compiled application JS is much, much smaller, which reduces the load on our host. Also, on the topic of load times, I realized that in #152 that one of the images was a PNG, not a JPG. I had tried optimizing the image, but I didn't realize that it wasn't a JPG like the others. Here, I converted it to a JPG, and it is significantly smaller, and it is visually unchanged. I'm having some difficulty testing on my local machine, so I would appreciate some additional manual testing before merging this. |
