So I just roasted my blog page with camelAI. It returned a withering critique about SEO, formatting, and my life choices. This was expected.

What I didn't expect was it finding eight scripts on the page. Eight. What the hell are those things doing?

My blog page is not my landing page. The blog front page is sitename/blog. It shows only the latest entry. This is where the eight scripts run.

However, other blog pages only run four scripts. Individual posts are found in sitename/blog/postname. These pages aren't functionally different than the blog front page. Both have navigation to traverse posts and comments are open.

Really weird is the same post in different locations behaves differently... - mysite/blog(newpost) --> 8 scripts - mysite/blog/newpost --> 4 scripts

I'm pretty sure one script is serving up avatars from Gravatar (I really need to code that locally). In any case, that should affect post locations equally.

I'm running 2025 theme with only three plugins (two "must-haves from my webhost and one for Lightspeed), so I don't think it's bloat.

When I get home, i'm going to inspect the page. But for now, does anyone know why the single-post blog page runs twice as many scripts as the other blog pages - even on the same post?

Oh... this post was initially rejected because I named my webhost. Why was that?

EDIT: What the hell? Did this thread just get downvoted because I'm asking questions?
