Lets make the web faster.

Yahoo's Exceptional Performance team has identified a number of best practices for making web pages fast. The list includes 34 best practices divided into 7 categories.

These rules must strictly followed to make our webpages faster to load and perform better.
Rule No.1: Minimize HTTP Requests,
Rule No.8, Make JavaScript and CSS External.
Rule No.10: Minify JavaScript and CSS.

One example for the Rule 10 is , include minified version of jquery, jquery-1.3.2.min.js (its only about 55.9 KB in size) instead of jquery-1.3.2.js(117.9 KB in size).

Shameem,

Nice link.

Its very informative shameem
Minify JavaScript and CSS may benefit many users including me because i never bother about(actually dont know) howmuch is the size and how this affect the speed of the site

Nice article Shameem. Infact Y! has been advocating strongly on Rule 8 and Rule 10 for quite a while now. They follow the same principles if we are to use their JS libraries (YUI)...

Thats quite an informative article.Thanks for sharing.
