Performance issue with higher latency

[uli.staerk]

When you load the frontpage of sugarcrm a bunch of *.css and *.js requests are started. To be precize: 78 css/js includes. Ouch!

If you use the crm out of office you have a latency of about 60-100ms. Lets take 75ms as a good average. So it will take you 5850ms to make all these requests and check if something has changed in this files, before the browser can render the final version of the page.

Are there any updates that optimize number of javascript/css includes in order to make the page faster? Or are there any other attempts beside server-script acceleration (our server is quite fast and has not too much load)?

I know I could disable some unneeded plugins, but we has some issues (dont know if its fixed yet) with disabling plugins - so we have currently everything enabled.

Sure, we need 2 scripts

1. One that will compile all the JS in one big file
2. One that will compile all the CSS in one big file

Not really. We just need a JS/CSS Proxy. A file that gives you all required js/css files - generated in runtime.

Eg: /js.php?get=all or /js.php?get=foo.js,bar.js

But is that possible without major changes to the code?
