Hi,
I love the K2 component and have just used it on a customers site. Perfect for their news and articles pages.
However, the site also has a shop (Virtuemart) and a forum (Kunena) that are currently performing badly on load times.
Analysing the site load (using
www.octagate.com site timer) I see that on these pages, even though there is no K2 functionality on the pages, the page is loading the following from K2
com_k2/css/k2.css
com_k2/js/k2.js
com_k2/css/../images/fugue/feed.png
com_k2/css/../images/system/loading.gif
com_k2/css/../images/syste.../transparent_star.gif
com_k2/css/../images/system/featuredItem.png
com_k2/css/../images/system/font_decrease.gif

com_k2/css/../images/fugue/mail.png
k2/css/../images/system/videoplayer-bg.gif
com_k2/css/../images/system/stripes.png
Now these items above are adding around 2-4 seconds to the page load which is impacting on the performance of these pages.
Is there anyway of restricting them to only load on pages where K2 is actually used?
Does disabling the System-K2 plugin remove these but then will K2 work with this disabled?
Thanks in anticipation
James
