- nobody271 8y agoRemoving jQuery would definitely improve your page loading time for a lot of reasons. You're getting rid of all those plugins you were talking about plus you get rid of jQuery itself which I remember being like 12,000 Kb? Plus as jQuery fades out there will be fewer and fewer people with your exact version of jQuery, from the exact same CDN (of which there are more now too), which would lower the chances of it already being cached. I'd like to add on to your main point. Improving page loading speed is a major issue for some places. I've seen one and instead of fixing the issue (their awesome home made DAL) they did all kinds of things several orders of magnitute smaller in terms of the amount of time they took. Now maybe they had some hidden reason for the way they were doing things, idk. My point, if I have one, is to pay attention to what's causing the page to load slow.
