Hi Guy's,

Just been testing the "defer" and "async" loading directives of my 
javascript libraries. It seems to make a difference on the loading of 
large libraries.

why waist time loading javascript libraries that are only needed when an 
operator starts clicking on things; or are only needed when the web page 
gets fully loaded.

example of defer (if not defer operator could wait 1 to 2 seconds longer 
for the page to load):
<script type="text/javascript"
       src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=XIzpLDznxuPlx- 
BouS1mYEf5duSm9oYs4I-q28" defer>
</script>

Read about it here:

Test my web page that has a few heavy javascript libs.  The starLite web 
pages are running off a laptop i5 windows 7. My Internet upload line 
speed is 0.7 megabits per sec...so that means that the initial StarLite 
is loaded at 0.7 megabit per second.
