Best WordPress Themes, Plugins and Blogging Resources

WP JS Wordpress plugin Allows the developers to compress (using JSMIN algorithm and GZIP) JavaScript files as well as concatenate them into a single file easily. This will make websites faster and improve the user’s experience. Cache expiry time is can also be set in the admin page.
Let’s say we have the famous prototype and script.aculo.us JavaScript libraries. This is in total of 8 files and 247KB files size. Lets say we GZIP each file separately this turns the total into 63KB (74% decrease), which is a good decrease in size. However the user would still have to download 8 files. WP JS turns the files into a mere 45KB (82% decrease) download for the user. This plugin allows you push JavaScript development in terms of modularization and download sizes for Wordpress.

This is a great resource! Thanks for posting about it. Considering all of the ‘app-like’ sites that are springing up built in wordpress this tool will certainly come in handy.
Thanks again!

I just read a very interesting coment against this kind os scripts. does this apply to this plugin too:
The point of the plugin is to consolidate all the .js and .css includes into 1 single request which reduces the time the browser takes to view the page (great idea) – the problem is the plugin’s method of finding these files to optimize. Recursively searching for files in the plugins and themes directory is intensive in the first place, not to mention the function for it is badly written. Add in the fact that it does this every page load and that’s the huge performance hit which increases exponentially with the more plugins and themes you have. So for now, it’s not worth the faster page load time.
