SSI includes and server load

    How much load would the SSI includes put on a server? I have some shtml pages with about 5 includes on each. I really need for common variables as ads, analytics, etc.

    Is it better to use javascript instead or what other includes would work better?

    I was wondering if that the server would overload at high traffic?

    Thanks!

    I wouldn't worry about overloading the server. I used SSI includes just once the day I discovered them. Then I switched to PHP includes because they're just so much more flexible.

    All servers will overload at a high enough volume. The server side includes are not going to be adding a significant load to the server

    Thank you! I was told that SSI puts more load on the server since it's a http process. I was thinking to go with php includes instead and wanted some opinions. I would be needing to put those php includes in a html file though...
