Only load scripts needed

When I analyze my wix sites I can see that it loads scripts for elements and controls that I do not use on that particular page. On one simple page I created it uses 303 script requests and a lot of the scripts that I see in the list is for controls I do not use.

This will be crucial for performance that you do not load scripts not necessary on the page loaded.

About this, I am doing some hard performance testing on the hotel website we did create and I can’t see any performance increased after this. Do we need to publish the site again to gain from this update? If this was implemented the number of requests would decrease a lot right?

Another thing I wonder of is the below verifyCustomToken script which has a wait time very long and some times this makes some browsers to stay white until this is loaded.

I can’t find that verifyCustomToken on all sites though. And then there is the below script sorted out the scripts that takes the longest time to perform. One script which is expanded in the image seem to be some sort of timer / debug / statistic script or something like that. Is it possible if that’s true to move that script to the buttom of the page.

And with the greatest respect, this is not to complain at all. I am just hunting seconds and I know how important it will be for you as well to serve fast and let servers rest :slight_smile:

Thanks Andreas,
I’ll get one of our perf experts to look at this.
