performance issues created by dynamic css&js

It appears that your plugin is generating a non-cacheable 9kb css file and a 20kb js file using a query string through s2member-o.php creating an additional load time of about 600ms.

Hi Bryan.

Yes, s2Member’s CSS and JS are dynamic and loaded like that.

You can remove s2Member’s CSS if you want, but not the JS. Pre Sale FAQs » How can I prevent s2Member® Pro from loading it’s default CSS?

I’m fine with the css, I just don’t like the way it’s being loaded. Is there a reason you don’t just echo it into the page or use a rewrite so it’s cacheable?

I’m not sure what the reason is. I know the JS has variables that get loaded dynamically, but don’t know if the CSS does too. I’m guessing not since, unlike the JS, it’s okay to disable it.

This is most likely going to change in the new s2Member being developed, though, so that these files don’t need to be loaded this way. :)

In the meantime, I’ve created a plugin to rewrite the dynamic css and js to something cacheable

Cool, thanks! I’ll show it to Jason too. :)
