Hello

I`ve been doing some optimizations and found that cobalt records module is loading all easysocial .css and .js files on the pages where that module is published just to display user avatar, could you please do something about that ? there's no reason to do that, and it will reduce pagespeed, I've also played with other modules which display easysocial user avatar and they dont load all those files.

Regards

To display avatar, we simply camm EasySocial API. And they do that there. We have no control over this behaviour.

Hello Sergey

I discussed with Mark from stackideas in skype and he said that should be happen, maybe you want to discuss with him about that ? It`s really annoying to load 3 .css files ( 400 Kbs ) and some .js file ( 300+ Kbs ) on the website if they are not used.

We use this Foundry::document()->init();. I think this is what loads all those documents. But this is what it state in the documentation.

Here what Mark says:

[7:43:29 AM] ME: @Mark, I`ve asked Sergey about that and he said:

[7:43:33 AM] ME: " We use this Foundry::document()->init();. I think this is what loads all those documents. But this is what it state in the documentation."

[7:48:00 AM] Mark: em why does he want to use this?

[7:48:03 AM] Mark: if he use this, then it renders the js

[7:48:46 AM] ME: so instead what he need to use ?

[7:48:58 AM] Mark: em i don't know why he want to use this?

[7:49:03 AM] Mark: whats the reason for him using this?

[7:49:11 AM] Mark: if he use this, the purpose is to render the css and js

[7:49:12 AM] ME: i dont know

I digged more inside this and in this file:

library/php/community/com_easysocial/com_easysocial.php

You have:

``` php function getName($id, $name, $section) { Foundry::document()->init();

```

In my case i don't use easysocial private messages, maybe you just need to add a check to see if private messages are disabled in easysocial and if it`s disabled then stop using Foundry::document()->init();
