Question about page size

Mike, your comments about optimization got me thinking about the size of my homepage, so I ran the "web page speed report" thing from the Web Developer Toolbar and was surprised to see over 300kB of javascript, most of which is from smugmug.

This seems awfully bloated to me. What exactly am I getting for my 215kB of yui_core? Any comments?

    Hey I moved your post to its own thread since it really didn't belong where it was. The yui-core files are all your ajaxy goodness and things like the slide out animations and such. Also I believe there are things like selecting classes.

    It's all kinds of goodness. Check out the yui pages for more. And I promise that Don and the sorcerers are keenly aware of page sizes and load times so they won't put anything in your page that isn't there for good reason.

    But if you'd like I'll definitely get someone with a bigger brain than mine to chime in on this. thumb.gif

    Thanks for moving it and thanks for your answer. I figured it was some of that Ajax goodness.

    And since the file is referenced to js.smugmug.com and not each user's page, I guess most browsers will cache it, so once you've visited any single smugmug site, it's there already and is not reloaded.

    For reference, I checked out a few sample galleries on other photo sites (zenfolio and phanfare) and they were about the same size.

    Thanks,
    Scott

    One thing to keep in mind is that this 215kb is downloaded the first time a visitor sees any Smugmug user's home page, but a high percentage of the code is in included files that are very efficiently cached by the browser so they are not downloaded if you then go to other pages in your site. So, for the most part, this is a one-time download upon first visit and the size penalty is not felt on subsequent pages.
