Is it better to have one big JS file or to link to them separately?

One big file. Fewer http requests but the difference is so small it's not worth it because you lose the organization. Also look at this this:
http://rakaz.nl/2006/12/make-your-pages-lo...-css-files.html You'd have to weight the pros and cons though because it reduces size therefore making it load faster but it also add pressure on the server which may end up making it slower. (It probably won't unless you have a really crappy server with a heavy load already.) Lastly, read this. Every web design should read through it. http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html |
