javascript - Frontend resource optimisation: Requests vs caching -


i'm working on big site has quite bit of technical debt need work away. there quite bit of js , css being loaded in site. files aggregated , minified in layers. 1 layer used on each page, while other layers loaded on pages use them.

for example:

page 1:     - default.css     - page1.css     - some-feature.css     - default.js     - page1.js     - some-feature.js  page 2:     - default.css     - page2.css     - default.js     - page2.js  page 3:     - default.css     - page3.css     - some-feature.css     - some-other-feature.css     - default.js     - page3.js     - some-feature.js     - some-other-feature.js

now, besides these resources there lot of external resources loaded well, used tracking, advertising, social integration etc.

i have feeling these resources served faster (both on initial , subsequent requests) if aggregated , minified in 1 single js , 1 single css file per page. example page1.css + page1.js , on page page2.css + page2.js. although result in less requests, end in loading general content twice (like original default.css)

what preferred way of loading these resources? , have test results on this?

tldr: people prefer caching, because page survive through first page load gzipped payload

most of projects i've seen, had front-end assets aggregated in single files. gzip compression take care, might amazed how huge reduction of file size.

consider outputting small amounts of page-specific css code inline styling.

regarding javascript, best can convert assets in amd modules , use requirejs handle dependencies , execution order.

inlining small pieces of js code works great too, can save little on main package size way.

after all, having huge amount of advertisement huge letdown front-ender, unless can make banners load asynchronously(see postscribe)

consider using pagespeed tools google, it's simple tool, might give tip on optimizing payload.
