Hi:
I am a bit confused with respect to speeding up performance of web sites.
I have several sites using Virtue Bold and after running the test on Pingdom, I seem to consistently get the following recommendations:
** There are X# JavaScript files served from (domain name). They should be combined into as few files as possible.
** Remove Query Strings from static resources … Resources with a “?” in the URL are not cached by some proxy caching servers. Remove the query string and encode the parameters into the URL for the following resources:
Searching the support forums I see some discussion about “Remove Query Strings” and I think Ben has said to basically forget about this as the information/data must stay where it is. Do I have this right?
If this is correct, then are these types of messages a form of false-positive?
Any suggestions you folks may have to speed up sites (other than image size) is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
