CSS and JavaScript compressor
Pingates have great for pressing all the files together into one big gumball. I tried to compress the files below and got almost a 99% reduction in filesize (with no GZipping). I am going to revert to the original files but its worth noting that compression is worthwhile. I will be taking out the image though, bandwidth sucking visual impairments!
The files:
- wp-content/themes/k2/js/prototype.js.php?ver=1.5.0
- wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/effects.js?ver=1.6.1
It’s worth doing, check the snapshot of nostatus.com:
Documents (1 file) = 6 kb (26 kb uncompressed)
http://www.nostatus.com/ = 6 kb (26 kb uncompressed)
- Images (19 files) = 36 kb
- /wp-content/themes/k2/images/headers/skate.jpg = 26 kb
