With the OAMP WebOpt module, which is available now for download from alkacon.com, it is possible to minify, obsfuscate and merge css and js files using YUI Compressor, as well as create on-the-fly image sprites.

WebOpt stands for "Web Optimization", since using these techniques allow the creation of faster loading web pages.

The Alkacon OAMP Web Optimization module features:

• css and js files compression, resulting in less download times.
• css and js files merging, to reduce the number of HTTP requests.
• css image sprites, to reduce the image weight as well as the number of HTTP requests.

The module is available with full source code and documentation.

All Alkacon OAMP modules are released as full Open Source under the GNU GPL version 3. The source code of the modules is freely available in the public CVS of cvs.opencms.org.
