Updated my open source project SmartInclude which handles runtime compression and minifying javascript and stylesheet.The project have been constructed to be:
- Powerful - use well proven compressors from YUI together with automatic GZip to further decrease the file transfer.
- Easy to use - just replace your script-tags with a custom webcontrol to implement in your project.
- Easy to develop with - set a single property in your web.config to disable the compression to help debugging scripts.
The main idea is to have all scripts and css-files in a readible form on the server and compile them to one compressed and minified file when transfered to the visitor in order to decrease bandwidth and most important of all: load time of the page.
The compressed file is cached client side with a hash stamp that makes the web browser request a new file if it has changed since last request from the server.
Take a look at the article describing the project:
