@jmclaren 

You could also choose to instead use require_css to load CSS files once per page and also take advantage of the async feature require_css supports. 

 

Yes, and the problem with this is that it risks deprioritizing things that actually should have priority - the primary example being media.

 

Whilst your comemnts about HTTP/2 / push are largely true there is still an upper limit as you noted and just throwing a bunch of async stuff in the head and hoping your order of priority is properly sorted for an efficient waterfall / cascade of loading isn't a solution - it's a cop out in the absence of a real solution.

Hi @JTFT ,

If you are looking to export all notes from HubSpot you can currently do this with the Engagements API, specifically, you can use the Get All Engagements endpoint. When you say "as well as all the other fields", I presume - and let me know if that's not right - you mean all other types of engagements like notes, tasks, emails, meetings, and calls. If that's the case then using the Get All Engagements endpoint I mentioned above will include those as well!

We should be able to make an export file from all companies listed in Hubspot, this is easy and possible. Only problem is that the Notes-fields are not included in your normal export report. Would it be possible to make an export file including Notes (of all companies) as well as all the other fields?

Hello, I am trying to update a template with a new hero image and it is not saving properly.  Here is the current page:  https://info.pbsnow.com/arkansasgameday and the link to the image.  Anyone know what I am doing incorrectly?  I also can't get the form centered.  Appreciate any advice possible!

Hi @ALawhun, that hero banner image is part of an inline CSS style. If you edit the template of the page, you can find the inline style under the hero class section and change the image URL there. Please note though that it will change the image for all other pages using that template too.

Hi, I'm Marcos, from Brazil and I work as a consultant for 4 companies. So, my question is about this: Can I register all of them within my account and manage them or will I have to open an account for each one of them? Thanks

Hi @MCosta2, I think I understand correctly but I would recommend having separate HubSpot portals for each account instead of trying to merge them all into a single HubSpot instance.

Any plans for rolling reworks of asset delivery now that vendor interest and implementation of native CSS modules is taking off - we've already had JS modules for a while now - + shadow root allows some interesting things. Backwards compatibility isn't an issue here. These are progressive enhancements. Whilst scoping was added to modules that's simply development ease and has nothing to do with rendering or performance and per previous post in thread is still one of the most common performance pain points - not that hubspot is particularly performant to start with.

Not specific for CMS starter:

We focus on performance for all our sites. That is why we moved over to coded templates (gives great control on what is loaded and where) instead of using the design manager to create templates. We try to disable jQuery for all our sites as we use Vanilla JavaScript for all functionality. However, when we try to update the value of a input of an embedded form, we still need to use jQuery to make sure the value is set and is not overwritten by HubSpot.
How can we prevent this?

Hey Teun,

I'm looking into this - what I can say right now is our current embed code is documented as seeming to require using that jQuery function - to detect the form updates. Future versions of the form embed code we are aiming to remove the need for that.

Ultimately though what needs to happen is to trigger an event the form is watching for. So I believe it's possible to do without loading the entirety of jQuery. I'll update the form embed code documentation if/when I find a simple alternative with the existing embed code.

Not specific for CMS starter:

We currently use SCSS for our HubSpot CMS websites, which means we compile one main.css for all our modules that we add to our custom coded templates. Should I spend time to move over to a solution where our compiled SCSS is added to the module.css instead? What are the key benefits of using the module.css instead of one main.css file? What are the downsides?
