Our aim is to make Morph as optimized as possible and though this is something we will constantly improve and build on, there are already a number of ways you can take advantage of.

Enable css packing

CSS Packing (otherwise referred to as CSS Concatenation) refers to the combining of multiple files into a single file. This boosts your sites performance as fewer HTTP requests are needed.

Enable JavaScript (JS) packing

JS Packing (otherwise referred to as JS Concatenation) refers to the combining of multiple files into a single file. This boosts your sites performance as fewer HTTP requests are needed.

Enable gzip

Gzip is a form of optimization that causes pages to be compressed before being transmitted from server to browser, making the transmitted data smaller, thus speeding up the delivery.

Enable mootools

Mootools is a javascript framework that is used mostly in the backend of Joomla! There are a few instances in the frontend where it is needed (which we have taken into account), but in most cases this is not needed and in order to get optimal performance we have completely removed it from the frontend. This saves around 75kb from your sites total weight.

Enable caption.js

Like the Mootools explanation above, the caption.js is a file that is loaded by default in Joomla! 1.5, irrespective of whether it is actually being used. We have removed this from loading to improve the overall performance of your site.

Zero javascript mode

This option will disable all javascript from the loading on the frontend of Morph. There is only one small generic snippet of javascript loaded if you view your site in Internet Explorer 6, which is needed to add support for hover on non anchor (link) elements. This option is good for debugging javascript conflicts. Rule of thumb, if the javascript error persists with Morph's javascript disabled, then the problem is not related to Morph.
