  • Does Rocket Launcher files slow site load time down ?

    Posted 13 years 10 months ago
    • Hey all, I've always used Rocket Launcher to install template to my websites. At this point, i dont know how to start from scratch. Question though, if I start to delete the particular modules, extensions, articles or whatever i don't need for my website, will that improve my website load time ?

      Any tips on trying improve the load time for my site is appreciated.

      Thanks, Patrick

      Joomla v 1.5

    • What I always do is after I decided on a theme, to delete all the other themes files and all the associated CSS files with those. Not sure if it speeds it up but I do that since I don't really need them.

    • I've done that to a degree but how do I find associated CSS files ? I've just been deleting articles.

      Thanks

    • Normally I go in to templates/your_template_name/css and delete all of the CSS files related to any styles I'm not using. Just be sure not to delete the CSS for the style you are using.

      Then, I normally delete all the standard Joomla templates from the root/templates that come bundled with the Joomla! install.

      Then I go to root/images and remove any images that come with Joomla! or the Rocket Launcher install.

    • The RL is really provided as a reference, not a source.

      Many members build theirs sites based on the RL by editing the content, but in actuality, it's best use it as a reference (on localhost or a sub directory of your site) and building your own site from scratch.
