Combine and Minify Sources

[Anonymous]

So, I installed everything (+pro vs) and the first thing I did is looked to see what was being loaded into the browser – WTF! 14 js files and ump-teen css files. Wow. This is bad and lazy coding. I am very disappointed to how much more work needs to be put into this plug b4 going live — Especially for the premium price.

So my Q is: can these files be combined [esp CSS] w/o jacking everything up and is there anything I should look out for b4 diving into this? i.e imports/linking?

Also, I see a chunk of the files are third party so my next Q is how much dead code is there?? Guess I’ll find out.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND deploying two file sets; one broken apart [like this] for the full-blown developer and a second file set with everything combined into no more than two js and two css files for the poor sole who doesn’t know better and is wondering why their page loads so slow and has such a low ranking. The current approach that installs everything loose and un-minified is sloppy causing too much browser overhead & sever requests and, just plain bad for SEO.

Sorry for the gripe but… any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thnx, Jason
