Questions tagged [combres]

.NET library which enables minification, compression, combination, and caching of JavaScript and CSS resources for ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC web applications. Simply put, it helps your applications rank better with YSlow and PageSpeed.

Many web developers are probably aware of various website optimization techniques described in this Yahoo Developer Network article and/or Steve Souders' book. Most of these techniques are very simple, yet bring about huge difference to the downloading time of most web pages. As simple as they are, applying some of these rules again and again in all .NET web applications can easily become a tedious task. Combres automates many steps that you would have to do yourself when applying many optimization techniques in your ASP.NET MVC and Web Form applications.
