Hi,
I am a freelance consultant at a travel agency and I am searching the web for the following situation:
This travel agency has a web hosted in 1 country. World-wide people are connecting to this host to book their holiday. But the catch is that when they are surfing on this site they are not only downloading the web-content of this agency but also third-party content (java scripts). These connections are made during the page-load time. This means that in-between the regular content download a third-party connection is made. This pauses the regular content download and might result in a long or even forever waiting scenario (when the third-party connection hangs).
What I am trying to find out is whether this is a common issue? What are options to increase the performance? How do other organizations deal with this problem? How can one organize the sequence of downloading?
Already thnx .

Putting the javascript calls in the footer of the page usually works pretty well. All the content loads visually and then the javascripts are called. If a script hangs, at least the basic content is there. The call is usually right before the </body> tag.
