Random Blocking with Javascript-File?
There is an example of javascript blocking from Steve Souders from his Book 'High Performance Web Sites': http://stevesouders.com/hpws/js-blocking.php Javascripts don't block Downloads anymore, but still do block rendering. .. but there is a strange download activity: There are 5 parallel downloads (max 6 are possible in Firefox 3 or IE 8 from the same server/host) 4 Images (2 from host1, 2 from host2) 1 Javascript in between there is also a 5th image in the page, but the loading of this fifth image does not occure in parallel, but only after Javascript has finished loading. so why does that
