2 Ways To Optimize JavaScript Code In Web Pages
Optimize your web pages by moving your JavaScript code out of the
all-important top portion of the HTML file.
JavaScript is usually placed in between the <HEAD%26gt; section of a
page, which pushes your body text containing your important keyword phrases
further down the page.
This can affect the number of keywords that search engine spiders index.
It could also makes your keywords less relevant because they appear lower on
the page.
The solution is to move the JavaScript code away from the top portion of
the HTML file. In fact, I will show you two solutions to resolving this
problem.
1. The first solution is to move the JavaScript code into a separate file
and link to this file from the HTML file.
This is the preferred solution because it:
- reduces your file size, and therefore your download time.
- allows you to reuse the code on other pages by simply linking to
this file.
Once you have move the JavaScript code to the new file, add the following
code to the <HEAD%26gt;... </HEAD%26gt; portion of the HTML file:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="file-name.js">
</SCRIPT%26gt;
You may replace "file-name" with any file name you like.
Please note that external JavaScript files cannot contain any HTML tags.
They must contain only JavaScript code.
Some servers may not recognize the ".js" file type. If that is the case
with your server, contact your web hosting company and ask them to add the
following line to the "mime.types" file in the server's config directory,
and then restart the server.
type=application/x-javascript%26nbsp; exts=js
2. The second solution is even simply. All you have to do is move the
JavaScript code to the very bottom of the HTML file, below the </HTML%26gt;
tag.
Yes! It really does work! Although it is considered good programming
practice to include your JavaScript within the <HEAD%26gt; portion of a HTML
file, it isn't necessary.
