Steve Sauders, the master of building fast websites, wrote up a very nice summary how JavaScript is loaded by different browsers and how you can optimize your page performance by following a few techniques he outlines.

We have a lot of customers that either have 3rd part widgets on their site or provide them to other websites. In either case, they are often concerned that the JavaScript on the page isn’t slowing down the user experience.

If you’re in the business of selling or using widgets, read Steve’s article and double check that the widgets you’re working with use some of these techniques. Otherwise, your website visitors will be the ones suffering when there may be a very simple fix that shaves hundreds of milliseconds off page load times!
