[SOLVED] jquery.cbvalidate.min.js?v=...

How do I prevent CB from appending the version so the script can be cached?

It can be cached fine with the version. When the version changes the cache renews. This leverages browser cache without causing out of date files to load. You can not remove the version from it without altering core code, which we can not advise you on.

Sure it can be cached but only as long as the version stays the same. On my site the version changes on every page load hence there is no chaching at all. Why does the version has to change? I need a stable hence cachable version at least for a week, better a month.

The version tag is just an MD5 of the files modify datetime and your CB version. It's not possible for it to be changing on every page load unless one of those is being modified on every page load. I am seeing no such issues in my tests locally or on our demo site. Do you have any sort of caching extensions or header compression extensions that maybe doing this?

I have no caching extensions but maybe the developer tools cause that. I checked again and without the dev tools it is the same version that gets reloaded. How can I combine and compress all the single cb js files? Especially on a weak mobile connection the load on the registration page is quite heavy and takes more than 5 seconds to load. Or could I preload the scripts on the homepage so that the sripts are already in the cache when the user enters the registration page?

A compression extension. CB is only tested and verified working with JCH Optimizer (we use it here).

It's unlikely that CSS and JS are causing such a long load time. It's most likely your images. Lazy Loading images is the best approach to speeding up pages, which JCH Optimizer offers (along with CSS and JS compression).
