[jQuery] Weird slow page loading issue
Hello,
I am linking to the jQuery core and plugins in the head section of my
pages. Each page takes at least 3 seconds to load even though the
pages are very small. It kinda seems like the browser isn't caching
the js files, so each page has to re-download them. I checked all the
browser settings and everything seems fine, so I have no idea what the
issue is. Tested on IE7 and FF3 with same results.
Just as a test, instead of linking to the core file, I copied the
source and pasted it into the pages, and this actually improved the
page load times! Also, ran some tests with all links to external js
files commented out, and all pages loaded in less than a second, so
the timesink is the links to the js files.
Any idea why linking to the jQuery files actually slows the page load
times? By the way, running IIS6 and Windows XP.
Thanks for any help.
