OK, so after a couple of comments today about the slowness of loading the new Total Carange site, I’ve decided to stop using the Ext JS library. It’s very nice and all that, but on my slow server, it’s slow as hell. I’d much rather stick to some simple Javascript that I wrote myself and limit it to just that. It’s a simple site, and should load quickly, not in the 20-30+ seconds it has been today. Maybe one day when I get a fast upload speed I’ll look into using it again, but for now, it’s a no-go.
Anyway, after working at the IFE company I used to work for and dealing with enormous amounts of Javascript in web applications, I’ve had enough of masses of JS. Use JS to enhance, not as a basis.
