minifying the website

[Andrei Alexandrescu]

Hello,


I've been looking through the logs and it looks like the top files in 
bytes transferred yesterday (even with the deluge of downloads) were a 
number of Javascript, HTML, and CSS files.

There are programs to reduce the size of such files called "minifiers". 
Should we use some? If so, what would the experts recommend? We'd need 
ideally some command line utility that we can deploy easily and 
integrate with the build process. Alternatively, an online service could 
fit the bill, too.


Thanks for your insights,

Andrei
