I also tried to gzip the CSS file and check if it can be used in compressed format by the browsers, but it doesn't seem to work... It would be nice if this tip applied to the CSS.

I tend to write my CSS compressed by default but for readability's sake this tool will come in handy. Now I can write the CSS with readability in mind and then compress when the site goes live. Thx. Btw, most browsers appear handle gzip compressed javascript. Instead of src="script.js" you can use src="script.js.gz". Down side is that it doesn't work on Safari but with a little more uncompressed javascript you might be able to work around that. Read about it here: http://joseph.randomnetworks.com/archives/2006/07/13/compressed-javascript/ Although it does seem to be a bit controversial at this point based on the comments.

A google search on that subject returns a lengthy list of online optimizers. You are right about JS. This is the real problem nowadays, but I haven't searched for any javascript optimization tools, as I use as little JS as possible. But, this would a very interesting topic too.

It would be useful to do some research on javascript compression... seems like that's where all the bloat is these days. This is a great list… the sed command is useful as well.
