An All New (and Improved) AutoMinify
Jun 19, 2011Matthew Prince

Summary
Introduced a new, in-line minification process for CSS, Javascript, and HTML that operates directly within the response stream, eliminating the need for caching before minification. This process is designed to be significantly faster (100x) than previous methods and overcomes challenges with dynamic content and large-scale processing across multiple data centers. The previous approach involved caching resources, minifying them, and then replacing the cached version, which was inefficient for dynamic content and did not scale well.
