Resource Accelerate: Caching and Compression
Written by on June 13th, 2007 in Ajax News.
Kris Zyp has released Resource Accelerate, “a J2EE web application filter that provides three signficant performance enhancements to web applications that use CSS, JavaScript, and shared images in a simple, easy to use package.”
- Caching Header Directives - this can significantly reduce the number of requests a browser needs to make for a web application when multiple pages share the same file resources.
- Gzip Compression - Resource Accelerate provides Gzip compression that can signficantly reduce the size of files that are transferred (often 60-80% for JS or CSS files).
- JavaScript Compression - Resource Accelerate can apply Dojo’s ShrinkSafe JavaScript compression as well.
