 +=====Implement New Features in v7.3 onward=====

 +These changes include changes to "minify" all your css and js files into one smaller file.  Then also to force any non essential css/js for opening page load to be moved to the footer of the design so it may be loaded last.  Those features can be found here in the admin tool:
