Performance Implications of Bundling and Minification on Web Browsing

Performance Implications of Bundling and Minification on Web Browsing: In this blog we analyze the impact of bundling, minification , compression, and pipelining on HTTP performance and in particular the impact on traditional browser scenarios. First we look at the impact of bundling and minification on the content in terms of size. Then we look at the impact of bundling and minification on download and page layout times in a browser-style application. The purpose is to get a handle on what kind of performance gains can be achieved with a modern HTTP/1.1 implementation when combined with efficient organization of content. The results presented show that only when content and protocol work together is it possible to get significantly faster performance. Just looking at the protocol alone is not sufficient. The data...(read more)
