How to combine CSS files

[Bill]

Pingdom Performance analysis of site speed loading shows (http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/bnZnrT/http://halfwaytoconcord.com/)

three css files from tribe and suggests they be combined.

Does anyone have clue as how to do this in W3TC

Hi Bill,

This is an excellent question! Love it when people care about web performance. 🙂

It’s true that separate files translates into separate requests to the server. However, there are a couple of ways to minimize this effect:

• Use GZIP compression. When you do this, the files are cached making repeat visits that much faster because the files don’t have to be reloaded. There are a number of plugins that can handle this if you prefer to not touch your server.</span>
• Try to minify and concatenate with a plugin. I found this one that looks like might fit your needs, but I’ve honestly never used it and can’t guarantee that it is compatible with our plugins.

Does this help answer your question?

Cheers!
Geoff
