As I talked about in the post, I have some pages that are popular with search engine visitors. They generally come to the page, read, and then leave. I serve CSS and Javascript in <style> and <script> tags on those pages so it's fewer HTTP requests, and loads faster.
Unless someone has a reason I should do otherwise?
"The key factor, then, is the frequency with which external JavaScript and CSS components are cached relative to the number of HTML documents requested. This factor, although difficult to quantify, can be gauged using various metrics. If users on your site have multiple page views per session and many of your pages re-use the same scripts and stylesheets, there is a greater potential benefit from cached external files."
