Hi All,

To speed up my page loading times I'm trying to reduce the number of files and/or content loaded. 

So Is it possible to stop certain resources from being loaded, especially when the viewer does not need access to any DNN facilities such as the control panel or editing

A few items include

default.css
dnn.modalpopup.js
jquery-ui.js

I am sure that these files are required if a person wants to use certain DNN facilities but most of the people accessing my site do not login and the vast majority of those that do login have no access to any DNN facilities.

I know that I can turn on minify and composite but the content of these still gets included. 

So I suppose I'm looking for a way to only load certain resources if they are needed

Many thanks in advance for any help given

Tony

Hi Sebastian,

I already use that option but the unwanted content still gets included. Even when using minify I'm including 100k of content I don't use and thats just for the 3 files I have mentioned

I know 100k is not a lot if you are on high speed broadband but I would love to exclude any content that is not required.

Regards

Tony

Hi Sebastion,

I agree that the popup.js file is tiny, it was just an example of a file getting loaded automatically even though it is never used, at least not for me.

I have a completely empty single page DNN website that contains a single Html module with no content and the skin is my own and jQueryUI is still being loaded so it must be getting loaded by the DNN framework itself by default. 

My site, for unauthorised users, does not use any styles in the default.css either. I have my own css styles. In the past I have suggested that any classes for dnn admin facilities get included in a separate css file that only gets loaded when required. Even if this css file got loaded on login, regardless of if it was needed, would improve things.

Shame we cannot turn off unneeded resources. 

FYI. I live in the UK countryside and my broadband is slower than a sleeping snail so any speed improvement I can get is noticeable.

Regards

Tony
