Speed Up your Board and Reduce Bandwidth

What i have done is run the Javascript files from 3.6.8 Nulled DGT through JsMin and compressed them all by around 50-60% of their original size.

This strips out all whitespace and comments while still retaining full functionality which results in faster pageloads for your board as well as a reduction in bandwidth on every page load.

How to Use:

* Make a backup of your /clientscript/ folder
* Download my clientscript, upload and overwrite the original files

Done!

Note: You can analyze your site here before and after to see the gains, also when uploading and overwriting you will see the reduction in filesizes.

Done by me, and only released on vBTeam.info

Note: I have been doing this for years, it's so effective vBulletin has released this as default on 3.7.0 RC.

no difference at all,just that the java took longer to load,, :\

You must of done something wrong, i've been doing this since 2003 and have done it on 100's of boards and "never" seen it not make an improvement.

In theory it's impossible for it not to make an improvement, think about it how can loading a bunch of files around 50% smaller not improve the overall page size and load times?

It's that effective vBulletin themselves are doing it from 3.7.0 RC onwards, if it didn't help they wouldn't go to the trouble of doing it.

Got it working on my boards.
Will post again after I see the total BW consumed in a few days. Ktnx

There's a link in my original post where you can do a more accurate before/after analysis.

For instance leonpadi saved 34,738 bytes per page load, if you times that by your average monthly pageloads you will get a pretty accurate number for your monthly bandwidth savings.

The link also shows how long your page takes to load on various internet connection speeds.

One question plz...
How often can we run this great script? If we put some new hacks, after some period of time, do we need to run the script again, so we can achieve smaller loading times again, OR it's worthless to be runned 2nd-3rd time...?
