Thank you for the quick reply! That's not exactly what I need but it probably can be used at some point so I'll make note of it.
I can't say it's completely due to vB since I probably have some add-ons in there too, but the header portion of the code is a mess and renders terribly slower than it should. Each reference to a .js file and .css slows down the load time or completely stops it momentarily. This has been confirmed by several page load tests online.
The way to improve this, I hope, is to aggregate the code into 1 file so the HTTP header requests go down and the whole thing downloads at once, then more quickly moves on to the rest of the code.
Here is Google's suggestion:
That is the list of files I want to merge. Then I'm hoping I can just delete the individual references in the template and reference the one large .js file and the rest will work like it did before.
I haven't found any record of someone doing this though here or at vbulletin.com, or anywhere else on Google although it's been mentioned many times.
