Minify is a PHP5 app that can combine multiple CSS or Javascript files, compress their contents (i.e. removal of unnecessary whitespace/comments), and serve the results with HTTP encoding (gzip/deflate) and headers that allow optimal client-side caching.
Yahoo’s Combo Handler and Google’s AJAX Libraries API both serve content from their heavy-duty CDNs and potentially increase the chance that your visitor will already have a file in her browser cache. Neither service serves custom content that you provide. You may wish to use these services to serve popular libraries and Minify to serve your code.

I have been using Minify for a while now…and it is great! I definitely recommend it. Use the groups feature to combine all your JavaScript files into one download.

We’ve tried CSSTidy here in the office and we love it. We have been looking for something similar for PHP and we’ll give minify a try. thank for this.
@Angelo – there is a cssTidy php class
csstidy.sourceforge.net/usage.php
Its nice to be able to use minify to crush n’ combine both (into sets a single script and sheet)
@Dreur – YUI can’t be used on-the-fly
I think the next step is to allow minify to retain License comments. EG swfobject, dojo, jquery etc so that License stipulations are adhered to and http requests reduced to minimum.
FAYI
Minify retains /*! comments such as this */. It works like a charm.
Also it applies prefixes to CSS URLs too – I am yet to see this in action, a great idea. And plans are underway to intergrate into apache and bypass php altogether.
I am so happy I found webappers! Minify will be a great addition to my development process.
There is another web tool to minify, merge, and compress your CSS/JS code – Web Optimizer ( http://code.google.com/p/web-optimizator/ ). It’s also free and more powerful than Minify.
I would like to suggest another tool to minify / compress javascript: http://jscrambler.com
It is a online tool so no installation is required. When considering only javascript it achieves much better compression than minify. It has an additional set of features not related with compression ex: obfuscation and domain lock…
That said, it still doesn’t process CSS its only processes javascript.
If you use ASP.NET, have a look at this:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/CombineAndMinify.aspx
And just another new kid on town for merging and compressing css and javascript files: http://shrinker.ch
here is an online tool that does gzip compression of css and javascript files : http://www.zbugs.com
An exceptional tool. However, both the old and the new version I noticed that not very well kobinuje jquery-1.4.2 and jquery.coda-slider-2.0 I do not know why. Also, do not support the complete combination jquery.lavalamp. Has anyone had a similar experience?
