CSS-JS-Booster is a PHP-script that tries to automate as many performance optimizing steps related to CSS and JS embedding as possible. Depending on the amount of CSS, CSS-images and JS, this can significantly increase loading speed of your site.

Note: Check by hand the htaccess-part! (see "Installation")

For CSS optimization steps are:

  • combine multiple CSS-files resulting in less HTTP-requests
  • Optimize and minify CSS with CSSTidy
  • Embed any CSS-images smaller 24KB as data-URI or MHTML (for IE <= 7)
  • GZIP-compress the resulting CSS
  • Have browsers cache the result as long as it remains unchanged
  • If IE6: Issue a JS-command to fix background image caching behaviour

For JS optimization steps are:

  • Fetch JS from external servers and cache it locally
  • Combine multiple JS-files resulting in HTTP-requests going down
  • GZIP-compress the resulting JS
  • Have browsers cache the result as long as it remains unchanged
