14372	Option to load comments asynchronously, for speed	markjaquith	filosofo	"This comes as a suggestion from Google, who wants to help publishing platforms deliver content faster.

The idea is to have an option to not deliver comments in the page's initial HTML request, but to load them with an asynchronous JavaScript call. This would cut down on page generation time, reduce page size, and make page content load and show up faster.

This also allows caching plugins to avoid flushing the cache for that page when a new comment is approved. They'd only have to monitor for post content changes. This means more cache hits, which translates into a faster average page load.

This solution would need to handle comment permalink requests, and scroll to that comment once the comments were loaded. We'd also have to delay comment-related JS (like threading support) until the comments were loaded.

Is this core? Can we do it without requiring explicit theme support?"	feature request	closed	normal		Comments		normal	wontfix	google comments	eric@… 776a6d@…
