I know that there are ways to dynamically load it into the page, but if I want to compress my code so it loads even faster, how do I do it?

I highly recommend Google Closure Compiler for compressing JavaScript code. I use it personally, and it is also the official compressor used by the jQuery project.

This project can do quite a lot, but the basics are this:

java -jar closure.jar -js javascriptFile.js > javascriptFile.min.js
