Topic: minifying JavaScript? Any Thoughts?

[Andy G]

While looking at my Google analytics page I noticed a section on "Site Speed Suggestions" and it says I should minify my javascript files for example it says

Minifying http://www.sunprairieweather.com/ajaxWDwx3.js could save 69.8KiB (53% reduction).

Any thoughts? Just kind of wondering

Thanks Andy

I routinely minify my bloated 'ajaxWDwx3.js' in order to speed page loads.  One thing to keep in mind though is that you need an uncompressed copy for editing of this particular file since it contains some settings.  The easiest site for me to use is this online javascript compressor.

An alternative scheme would be to save the compressed file as 'ajaxWDwx3-min.js' or some such and reference this as

Code: [Select]

$SITE['ajaxScript']     = 'ajaxWDwx3-min.js'; // for AJAX enabled display in 'Settings-weather.php'.
