Hi

I wonder if you in next version of EB also will look into javascript, CDN, Disqus, stars rating, Facebook, social networks optimization?

What I experienced is that when getting more blogs and you should load these blogs and you have CDNs like CloudFlare the social integration icons for each blog loads very slowly and also that the icons stars rating for each blog crash and only show rounded bullets in a row...so its like the caching mechanism is not optimized for EB to be stable to deliver rapidly for those things.

Maybe there is a some way to make this work differently for example to load the icons locally instead of picking them up each time from each social network ie Facebook share/like, Google +, LinkedIn share, Tweet, Pintererest Facebook Disqus comments etc

Its a lot of things that load there that slows down a EB page..
Hello Stan,

EasyBlog 5.1 is heavily optimized and till date I am seeing at least 40% of reduction in javascript size As for the social buttons, there is really no way to optimize this apart from not rendering those buttons at all or loading a static version (non interactive) which will also be made available on EasyBlog 5.1

The problem with these social buttons (Especially Facebook), is that they not only render their scripts, but their scripts are also performing funky events on the DOM of the page. This includes a lot of calculation on the site which also slows down the client's browser tremendously.
