CMS Made Simple Forums

Loading time of a website is as important as its functionality  Edit stylesheet.php in root. On the end of file is something like this:

echo $css;

Replace that with line:

// Compress CSS output
echo str_replace('; ',';',str_replace(' }','}',str_replace('{ ','{',str_replace(array("\r\n","\r","\n","\t",'  ','    ','    '),"",preg_replace('!/\*[^*]*\*+([^/][^*]*\*+)*/!','',$css))))); 
//echo $css;


Thank's to http://davidwalsh.name/quick-easy-css-c ... -using-php

There is some thing called speedy php ... I think... it does this ... CSS and js both... that may be a good add on with this for parts of a CMSMS cache system... till then nice post...

This website is also explaining how to compress css and javascript:

If I understand well this line strips out redundant spaces, tabs and so. Hence I doubt it provides much benefit to a gzip output compression enabled webserver. Worse : it takes additional CPU time to launch and run another string prossessing engine.
Notwithstanding that routers themselves may compress flows I'm curious to see an actual performance comparison.
