Make CSS.php cacheable (base on version number?)
Specify image dimensions on logo.png (improves render time)
Place inline JS in header before CSS or after calls to external media (I believe in this case, it's GA)
Optimise CSS (On homepage, 71% of the CSS loaded is not used)

I think the reason that optimisations haven't been done is because it's still being developed.
Suggestions like placing JS above the closing body element, caching CSS/JS, optimising have already been addressed.

Doesn't surprise me, but I'm a nitpicker

Image dimensions usually aren't set, because every forum owner actually uses different sized header images.

When the image changes, read the image and store the dimensions.

However, if someone has a larger file, or the user has a slow connection, on some browsers, it will not render the page until it can block out the image correctly on the page

I doubt that will happen.

They're not including PHP. PHP runs server side, generates content, which gets included.

Cache all the CSS to static files on update (with several versions for themes etc. if necessary) and just serve those instead

Fair point.

And you know when the image changes... how?

Luke F · Sep 2, 2010

Also is there any reason the JS isn't placed before </body> for better rendering speed?

index.php calls getimagesize on every page load? </snigger>

It's placed in the <head> section ... which is before <body>

Various components have to be initialized immediately rather than waiting for $(document).ready(). TinyMCE is one of them.

Get the image size would only be realistic if we force the site owner to import the image into the system .. Which is what I am against to, I want all images on cdn.network.com

I had a typo ;p.

I meant CSS, but hit before I fixed it.
