1. Does this have effect on WP performance in a visible way ? IF it would have a real affect for some small files, then it would have an affect that has an impact lower than WP: PHP and server performance. Does it really have an affect? Not really. But you can still simply start … Read more
One additional option, depending on the kind of parameters you need to pass in. Let’s call it (2a). You can also create PHP scripts which output dynamically-generated text/css or text/javascript rather than text/html, and provide them the data that they need using GET parameters rather than by loading up WordPress. Of course this only works … Read more
From the wording of your question, you must be adding scripts by writing <script> tags in your template. Add your own scripts via wp_enqueue_script() in your template’s functions.php, appropriately setting dependences on jQuery, and wp_head() will add the scripts for you. function my_scripts() { wp_enqueue_script( ‘my-sweet-script’, get_bloginfo(‘template_directory’) . ‘/script.js’, array(‘jquery’) ); } add_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘my_scripts’); See … Read more

You can … Read more
index.php is universal template, it is what any page (home, archive, single post, etc) will use if no other template is available for it. home.php is a template used for main page (on is_home()) condition. See Template Hierarchy for detailed scheme of how templates are applied.
First rule of thumb: do not deregister core-bundled scripts and replace with other versions, unless you are absolutely certain that no Theme, Plugins, or core itself will break due to the version change. Really, unless you absolutely need an alternate version of a core-bundled script, just use what is bundled with core. Second, I strongly … Read more
To have the theme listed: style.css With at minimum this: /* Theme Name: Minimum Theme Description: Test Author: Test Version: 1.0 */ For the theme to be functional: index.php index.php must have a post loop, so this would be the bare minimum functional index.php <html> <head><?php wp_head(); ?></head> <body> <?php if ( have_posts() ) { … Read more
