    Yes, but it is barely noticable. Using base64 is also not recommended for SEO purposes ;).

    Base64 ? Encoding a script pretty much doubles the compile time since the browser is basicly parsing the data twice.

    Not sure what base64 encoded JS has to do with SEO, but ok, if you say so.

    What is has to do with SEO: if you encode the text too a search engine can't read it...

    Why would JS have SEO relevant text embeded in it ?
