CSS/JS Compression

At JoomlaShine.com, we put great efforts in optimizing our templates performance by multiple techniques like image sprites application, clean html code output and now one new step CSS/JS Compression.

What it does is to combine all CSS/JS files into a single file and deliver it in GZIP compressed state to browser. This feature significantly reduce http request number to server as well as overall loading size, which results in 35% performance boost.
