Five Javascript Compressors Compared
Without a doubt Ajax application are becomming more powerful. That also means that Javascript files are getting bigger and more complex. One solution is to use mod_gzip and mod_deflate (Apache) or HTTP compression (IIS). This means adding extra processing time both at the server and the client, however. One other way to cut down on bandwidth and memory is to compress the Javascript, after all, the browser doesn’t need the nicely formated Javascript with white space and comments. You can just trim all of that out and save tons of space.
