Externalize the Javascript
November 28, 2006
Externalizing your javascript is easy and will benefit you with smaller file size and cleaner code. Excessive javascript in your page HTML can make it harder for the search engines to crawl. It may also be mis-understood and come up in the search engine results pages as relevant content.
If you have access to your HTML
1. Cut all the javascript between the < script > tags and paste it into a text file.
2. Name the text file “anything.js� and place it on your server.
3. Place the following tag (to call the file) in your Page < Head >:
< script type="text/javascript" src="anything.js" > < /script >
If you have multiple javascript applications then use multiple .js files and tags.
