Hi all,
I tried to improve the performance of my website by enabling the combine script option in RadScriptManager.
<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" EnableScriptCombine="true" >
</telerik:RadScriptManager>
However, i found that the page loads slower than disabling this feature in the initial load (no cache in the browser).
With the help of fiddler, i can see that the actual transfer time is faster but seem the browser take longer time to process the script.
And the size of the combined script is much larger than seperated script resources.
Here is the figure:

combined : 272,245
Individual : 17,324 + 18,714 + 5,147 + 9,743 + 10,319 + 7,074 + 17,994 + 4,841 + 10,097 + 1,705 + 9,224 + 2,588 = 114,770

Hello Cloud,
Can you please check whether the script is compressed please? This will decrease the file size significantly. You can check the Content Encoding response header - it should say "gzip".
Alternatively, you can try the CDN support of RadScriptManager to load the files from our cloud storage.
Sincerely yours,

Hi Cloud,
Combining requests mostly benefits internet sites, as the overhead for opening new connections is much more noticeable there. For fast intranet sites this might not be a factor at all.
The faster processing of the non-combined resources might be due to use of multi-threading, at least in the receive/decompress stage. Scripts still need to be evaluated in-order.
If your benchmarks say it's slower then don't use script combining. Everything else is just theory.
I hope this helps.

I will turn it off in the intranet application.
Can you also explain why the file size become larger (nearly 2 times of the original).
Thx.

Hello,
My tests didn't confirm this. I'm attaching a screenshot from Firebug that shows that the size is smaller when using script combining. Here's the test page I've used:

Hello Cloud,
Can you, please, record the two browsing sessions with FiddlerCap? We're probably missing something here and a complete log will help us a lot.
