Plugin to order properties to optimize GZip compression #7

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Hi,

What would be very nice is to return the css with the properties ordered in 
alphbetical order. This will help to reduce the size of the file once 
gzipped.

Best regards

Daniel

I believe the attached plugin re-orders properties as desired; it probably is a 
bit too cautious as I don't *quite* follow exactly what cssmin is doing, or the 
edge cases it might have to cope with, but it works for me :)  Doesn't make an 
enormous difference to my CSS file when gzipped (~1%) but this will vary hugely 
by the contents of your CSS file.

Enable by adding 'ReorderRulesForGzip'=>true to your filter configuration array.

Cheers!

And here's the attached plugin without two obvious strict-mode errors :)

Thanks for you contribution rowanb. I will have a look on you plugin soon and 
will add it to the CssMin source if you permit it (with proper credits for 
sure).

Cool - thanks! :)

It might be worth updating 
http://code.google.com/p/cssmin/wiki/MinifierFilterSortRulesetProperties to fix 
the example (silver to #000) and mention that it improves gzip compression :)
