Hey guys, tell me what you think on this script and if you have any suggestions i will be happy to implement it once i have more free time.

You can save: 0% in file size and 3 HTTP requests :/ I guess there's a problem somewhere (definitely more than 3 resources on my test page - as confirmed elsewhere on the page).

  I tried wired.com and got the same result. Plus this error: A PHP Error was encountered Severity: Warning Message: Division by zero Filename: speed_up_results/sources.php Line Number: 5

    Thanks for the bug :) Fixing it right now :)

    Should be fixed now :) wired.com

  Hi Yoric! Can you provide a test page url you are using please? The current version of a site grabs only local JS and CSS files, maybe you have some remote files thats why?
pero 16y ago
It doesn't seem to factor already enabled server-side gzip compression? It appears to only grab the files as-is...

  Thanks i will solve this issue in next release.

I like how you upload the files to a CDN and provide links to them for free. Very useful service indeed.

  Thanks Nishank!

Very cool concept! I definitely will use it once it supports parsing remote assets.

  Thanks for you kind words OstiaAntica.

It doesn't seem to detect CDNs on the same base domain, like cdn1.exmaple.com or assets0.example.com on example.com.
- usaphp 16y ago
  Hi superfamicom, its coming in next release. It will allow people to select a custom combination of files you want.

Biggest problem I'm seeing (and understandably so) is that it doesn't handle in JS files that are inject after page load (such as all of ours are - http://frid.ge http://frid.ge) even if they are local. We do this for our cache busting routines (we currently do a combine as part of our build process but need to add the minify). Tried it on a side project of mine and I'm seeing the divide by zero issue that other people are seeing. Really like the concept for projects where I don't want to setup build scripts to do all of the minification.
- usaphp 16y ago
  Thanks andrewjshults for your review. You are making a good point about JS injected files. I should modify a script in next version to make it see this files. Thanks again. p.s. Division on zero issue is currently being fixed.
- usaphp 16y ago
  Try to enter : http://www.frid.ge http://www.frid.ge - this should work. Without www it does not seem to get a domain name from it properly...

I get "We can't find any local CSS or JS files on the site. Stay informed about a new version of this service which will allow you to process remote files as well. " For my blog at http://alicious.com http://alicious.com However it lists both a local CSS and a local JS file. Could be something to do with apache security module being enabled on that site.
- usaphp 16y ago
  Hi pbhjpbhj. Thanks for your review... I think that your site does not have any local files, at least for me it shows only remote JS and CSS. Let me know if i am wrong. Also try using www.alicious.com instead... i am having some issues with domain detection now.
  - pbhjpbhj 16y ago
    Unless I'm missing some strange definition of local files then yes it does, it has both local js and css files and two of them were listed on the report for me. http://imgur.com/HxOPr http://imgur.com/HxOPr

I tried a few sites I own and it somewhat points me into the right direction. My biggest surprise was trying out zbug's own website which produced a rather ironic result: http://yfrog.com/h71e9bp http://yfrog.com/h71e9bp
- usaphp 16y ago
  Hi rlobue :) You are the first one who noticed it :) That was done on purpose since i had a www.zbugs.com as a default input text :) so people can see how the tool works i had to leave the CSS and JS untouched and uncompressed :) Thanks again.

Nice UI. But I don't get what is the use of the .gz files. So my javascript files can be compressed -- but what are compressed .js.gz useful for? can I use them in place of the .js files or something?
- usaphp 16y ago
  Hi "whathappenedto". Thanks for your kind words. .gz files can be used in a place of javascript and css files since all of the modern browsers support gzip compression. You may want to add a condition statement in you code that will check if browser supports gzip compression (some old browsers dont support gzip) and if it does support show him gzipped version , if not - show him just a minified version. I will post an FAQ on zbugs.com with a code samples how to do it.

This is really cool, but anonymous users can curl the resulting archives from the server without signing up. If you really want registered users, you might want to hide the user's asset files behind some sort of authentication. Also, although it seems counter intuitive to visit this site with javascript disabled, it appears that the site does not work at all with those clients.
- usaphp 16y ago
  Hi "uxp" thanks for you kind words. I was not too concerned about forcing users to register. Since the main benefit for registration is on their side - they can check the compression history and also stay up to date about new features ( i have a lot of features coming once i get more free time)

absolutely awesome! 15 minutes can save you 15% of load time on your website :-)

"Speed Up..." that is if I didn't already merge, minify and gzip my files :)
