Description
Prolonged load times can avert users from your beautiful site off to those other ghastly but fast-loading contrivances. Even if your site renders like a wildebeest escaping its hunter on your souped-up Mackbook Pro, the size of your dependencies can still be a concern for other devices on slower networks. This very concern has led to the fabrication of tiny javascript libraries which are slender phantoms of the amply-tested. And many third-party libraries require jQuery unnecessarily and have yet to realise they have the potential to slim down their dependencies. We'll talk about the recent changes to the jQuery source and how you can personalise jQuery to fit into that dress.
