large script

[windandwaves]

Hi Folk

I am an absolute beginner....

I have a script of 30Kb, which is mainly comments (i.e. //..... and /*
......*/)

Should I strip these out and make the script 10Kb (I use it on every page in
my site)?

If so, how do I do that using a regular expression in Notepad2 (amazing
editor!!!) (sorry, but I have no idea)
Thank you

30 kb is NOT a large script. Especially given the fact that it's
mostly comments.

You don't have to if you don't want to...

Cheers,

Thank you for your reply

Is it still the case if each page accesses it (e.g include_once({30kb}...))
? I have an average of 500 visitors per day so at peak times, it may get
busy. Each page requires about 100Kb of script on average, so I thought it
may make a little difference if I take out 20Kb per hit.

Let me know if I am overly excited about speeding it up...

Thank you once moer for your reply

contained the following:

But it won't be /serving/ that data, will it?

No, actual page sizes can be between 5Kb and 50Kb (and more for some...)
