Optimising page load by unhooking modules?

[cedib]

Hi,

Would it be right to think that some modules hooked to hookdisplayHeader can add to the loading time of a page for no reason other than the fact that they are hooked on it, such as Paypal, productcomments, mailalert, rewards and giftcards? Those modules are actually needed only to specific pages, such as product pages or cart, but not the home page, cms pages or categories.

Therefore has anyone ever considered adding some exceptions in the Modules Positions page so those modules are not called in some particular pages?

I'm thinking about doing it to optimise the load and speed of pages.

Good idea or risk to break something?

Thanks

Hi

There is bit older article with one point just about your question

http://build.prestashop.com/howtos/module/Common-mistakes-while-coding-module/#5-do-not-trigger-code-if-it-is-for-a-specific-page

So yes it is good practice.
