html - multiple php calls slowing page load? -
i rewriting html site php. there various changing menus want make php calls: <?php include("header.php");?> with footer, , sidebars have 4 or 5 php includes on each page. how slowing pageload 5 php calls? if want fast load worth sacrificing sitewide editabitity , calling less php pages? or few milliseconds? is there difference speed wise between calling 2 css files or 2 php files? ( caching system use such simple php calls? ) for static files, css files, merging them decrease page loading time. because these files not server-side files. clients send more 1 request downloading these files. effect loading time. php files server-side files. it won't effect loading time (if files not complicated much).
