This suggestion from Google especially looks fun:

The following publicly cacheable, compressible resources should have a "Vary: Accept-Encoding" header:

However, it's a useful tool. It gives me useful suggestions for improving.

Anybody knows a simple tool to minify javascript?



I often use the Closure Compiler at http://closure-compiler.appspot.com/ (online) and http://code.google.com/closure/compiler/ (offline)


Many thanks! I've just found a simple tutorial of how to use it in Python script: http://code.google.com/closure/compiler/docs/api-tutorial1.h...

So, I've written my own script, which minified seven js-files with total size 84.8 KB to one file with size 26.7 KB. Plus gzip and it will be very small.

Thanks again.


There is also UglifyJS https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS which is build on Node.


Here's an ugly GUI for Uglify: http://alexsexton.com/uglifui/


I think I've been using the Google PageSpeed Plugin (Firefox only though) to minify JS, CSS and shrink PNGs.
