Speed up page loads with head.js
Last year Google made some changes to it’s algorithm that meant that page load speed was becoming a contributing factor in it’s search engine ranking algorithm. This means that if your website loads slowly you could be suffering in the SERPs.
One way to streamline the loading of your site is to parallel load your JS files, and you can further improve load time by placing those JavaScript links at the bottom of your page.
Head.js aims to make this all easy for you, by allowing parallel downloads of JS files as well as a whole bunch of other nice features such as a CSS moderniser, HTML5 enabler, browser detection, feature detection and screen size detector.
In short it does the job of about 5 or more other scripts and it weighs in at just 6.4kb in minified form, so it’s small as well. Give it a go in your next project and see what it can do for you.
