Hello,

I have a question - how to compress css/js files? because my web page
size => 20kb, and size of JS’s is => 170Kb(controls.js dragdrop.js
effects.js prototype.js tooltip.js and 2 other small js’s).

Thanks

Make sure you setup your web server to use gzip. It makes a huge
difference.

Hi Igor

Using Apache2.2x to proxy a pack of mongrel processes is the way to
go…
The idea is for Apache to serve the static ontent such as stylesheetas
and images whilst getting the mongrel processes to handle the rails
stuff.

For JavaScript, JSMin ( JSMin )
can help, and there’s a Ruby implementation.

This just removes comments and whitespace it seems …

I’m using custom-rhino.jar

See http://dojotoolkit.org/docs/shrinksafe
It also renames local variables.

So that plus gzip-compression should be pretty good.

Compressing CSS as well?

Look at http://cdburnerxp.se/cssparse/csstidy/changelog.php

I got the PHP-version running from the commandline if you’re interested.

I was trying to find out what method tinymce uses to compress
javascript, but couldn’t.
