| Description | I just installed 8.01 using the self extractor and kept the homepage block free and am pulling a 35 on the page speed plugin. One obvious thing I noticed was that 211 kb of js is being parced on page load and a bunch of files are being called twice such as javascript.js and staff.js. I just checked your homepage and it seems to do much better pulling a 74 on pagespeed and it isn't making duplicate requests. I don't know if this is something I did but I did change a few config settings during install. |
| Steps to reproduce | Install, open page, run pagespeed |

If you want, you can put this command into Commandr:
:set_value('no_frames','1');
That will make these do full refreshes instead of just refreshing frames, but it will simplify layout and speed up loading.
In the future we will probably make them use AJAX, but we didn't originally because we didn't want to put on a Javascript dependency and cross-browser AJAX support was very new at the time anyway.
