Hi,

I've just bought the new version of Komento. I was on a 2.0.8 with 144kb of javascript loaded (including "/media/com_komento/scripts/komento-2.0.8.static.min.js" 138kb alone).
With Komento i load 1.1Mo of javascript. The biggest file is "media/com_komento/scripts/vendors/jquery.komento.js" 279Kb. This file alone is nearly twice as heavy as all the Js loaded by the older Komento.

I'm surprised because i wanted the version 3 for the "Performance Enhancements" you described here https://stackideas.com/blog/komento-3-0-stable-release
You are actually looking at the wrong file. The file jquery.komento.js is never rendered on the page. We only include it with the source in cases where people want to modify the scripts and recompile them again.

Komento only loads the following script files in production mode

site-3.0.3.min.js (with jquery)
site-3.0.3-basic.min.js (without jquery)

As for comparisons with Komento 2.x,

Komento 2.x (komento-2.0.12.static.min.js) = 473kb
Komento 3.x with jQuery (site-3.0.3.min.js) = 378kb
Komento 3.x without jQuery (site-3.0.3-basic.min.js) = 287kb

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your answer. I've added a screen of the js loaded by komento. I'm not loading site-3.0.3.min.js nor site-3.0.3-basic.min.js.

This is because you have configured Komento to be on development mode You need to switch to production mode under Settings > system

Exactly
I'm now loading the js site-3.0.3.min.js (378kb).Thank you.

One last question, when i disable the jquery library from Komento i get "TypeError: Cannot read property 'slice' of undefined" on site-3.0.3-basic.min.js line 306. (I already load jquery on my website).

Thanks

Hm, there is probably conflicts because the jQuery version on your site is different than what is required from Komento. I am afraid you need to render the jQuery from Komento but don't worry, as long as you add these into your .htaccess files, it's still going to be smaller than 100kb
