#Instruction how to execute Low-tides IntroductionLow-tides is an automation of YSlow recommendation #1 (Reduce Http Request) and #10 (Minimize JS/CSS). The tool accepts html path and extracts js/css includes for merging and minification. Some of the reasons why we developed this tool are as follows: # Improve page loads by reducing http request and minimizing js size. # Perform step #1 with minimal action for the developer and yet maintain proper version. Low-tides processes html files and looks for js and css includes. It then combines multiple js in sequence into 1 js file and perform minification. Based on our own test, load time has improved by at least 30% after using low-tides. This tool is an extension of YUI Compressor.
