November 8, 2009 at 10:58 am #145805JA Compress plugin, a Joomla 1.5 plugin developed to provide optimization / compression of CSS and JS files for Joomla site has now been released as part of JA Extension Club.
The It provides functionality to use two open source libraries one is Minify and another one is SmartOptimizer.
Features:
- Choose between the two libraries to achieve best performance.
- Option to exclude single or multiple css / JS files. This is quite helpful, as not all the files like to be compressed or optimized.
- Option to check server cache or client cache.
- Option to choose optimization, Combine CSS files or use both options together.
DownloadIf you are JA Developer & JA Extension Club member, download here
Special Notices:
- As a beta version, you must use it at your own risk. Things should be fine with CSS merge, however Javascript merge & compress can raise problem if your website use many javascript.
- DO NOT use it for livesite unless you have tested them carefully
- If your website are not rendered correctly, try to disable JS merge, or put important js file on the exception list
Watch the live comparison
With the help of Yslow , a firefox extension, we ll see how the speed & the http request has been optimized.
Below are the showcases of how JA Compress booth the speed for JA Purity II & JA Teline III templates.
The above result may vary depending on your network connection as well as our response of servers, you ever, you can make your own comparison with the 4 versions of the 2 templates.Link 1: JA Teline III without JA Compress (http://templates.joomlart.com/ja_teline_iii)
Link 2: JA Teline III WITH JA Compress (using Minify) (http://templates.joomlart.com/ja_teline_iii_optimized/)
Link 3: JA Purity II without JA Compress (http://templates.joomlart.com/ja_purity_ii)
Link 4: JA Purity II WITH JA Compress (using SmartOptimizer) (http://templates.joomlart.com/ja_purity_ii_optimized/)
This is the first release of the extension, if you found a bug or would like new features, do it here

November 8, 2009 at 8:51 pm #322956It funny they even have some JA template download before we release or when is still in development, especially those with teaser or concept preview.
Perhaps they just give fake files to attract sign up or some kind of VIP access purchase
Anyways, back to the topic
It will be nice if someone can post his result after using this plugin.

November 8, 2009 at 9:18 pm #322962I’ve just tried this with JA_Zinc on my localhost with all the settings turned on. This uses minify, css & JS compression as well as ccs & JS merging into one. The results are superb.

November 9, 2009 at 9:32 pm #323067Don’t you think it should be free for Template Club members?
JoomlArt template are great but way too slow to load. This should be a built-in feature in all templates.
Kind regards,

</blockquote>Totally agree, this should come free with the template club. All JA templates have vast amounts of scripts and way too many http requests.

November 11, 2009 at 7:35 am #323189No, I don’t think it should come with every template. All template clubs suffer from a similar weight issues. A lot of this is to aid versatility, to aid ease of customisation and partly down to the way the joomla template system works.
This plugin will probably work with any template, not just JA ones.. It is also another reason to become a developer member.

November 11, 2009 at 9:02 am #323203Dear Phil,
Other template clubs are developing similar plugins for free (not only for template club members). I don’t like to mention competitors, however Rocket Theme has developed a plugin called RokGZipper, which does the job, however it does not work with JoomlArt templates very well. 🙁

November 11, 2009 at 12:14 pm #323247JA Compress is unique, as it also allows to exclude one or multiple css or JS files. Plus it offers usage of any of the two renowned compress libraries (minify or SmartOptimizer).
To release it as JAEC / Developer only or for the JATC members is a policy decision of JA, onto which we can not comment. JA did release many free plugins / modules along with release of JA Teline III. It would be unfair to say that JA is neglecting JATC members. Developer and JAEC members also need to be supplied with their promised share of goodies.

November 11, 2009 at 4:03 pm #323281I agree, this should be a free component for JA Template members, it should even be included in the templates. When you are building and designing the templates for members, performance features/functionalitys should should be one of the selling points, not a after-thought that members have to pay additional for.

They do but it should still be free, template providers in general should really try to make the templates less bloated, I know this is sometimes difficult but there are so many http requests that are unnecessary, take teline 3 as an example there are 22 style sheets which is verging on ridiculous and 12 scripts.<blockquote>… It is also another reason to become a developer member</blockquote>
Or an excuse to make the templates even more bloated so that we are forced to part with more money in an attempt to make our sites load within reasonable speed 😉AuthorPostsThis topic contains 39 replies, has 16 voices, and was last updated by dpapan 14 years, 5 months ago.
