When you are developing a site, there is a heck of a lot of “refreshing” going on. You start to get a pretty good feel for what your browser is going to pick up on a single refresh, and what it won’t. For example, I find that if I over-write an image file on the server, it will take me two refreshes for that image to update on the live site.

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.
