I wonder about the reasoning behind Facebook developers' decision not to consolidate their scripts and stylesheets into single files, opting instead to load them on demand through their CDN.
Considering the complexity of Facebook as an application, I can see how this modular approach could streamline maintenance. However, shouldn't the typical optimization recommendations still be relevant, given its widespread usage?
Alternatively, does utilizing a CDN negate the usual performance drawbacks associated with numerous small scripts and styles?
