Board Optimization - Combine It - Javascript and CSS optimization

What does it do?

This mod is designed to automatically merge and minify all CSS and Javascript on the board and cache the result. This helps reduce requests to the server and reduces bandwidth usage.

Installation

1. Upload contents of upload folder to forum
2. Create a folder named 'cache' in the forum
3. Make sure the web server has the appropriate permissions to write to the cache folder
4. Import product-combineit.xml into vBulletin
5. Edit options under vBulletin options to reflect how you want the mod to act and to activate it

Notes

This may not work with highly customized CSS or Javascript. If the script can't write to the cache folder this mod will not function. If you find problems with the order a particular script is executing in, add it's filename as a stop word and it'll load as usual.

I am sorry to say, but this is one if the most disapointing mods I have seen on here! First thing when I ran this, just running my CMP_INDEX.PHP page, I got 500 bytes of JS CACHE! and the page was running 100 times slower! I used it for 2 hours, checking and checking! Never ever seen a mod with so less power, and so much damage!

But the Idea is totally great, I am just disapointed that it does not work for me!
Keep up the good job!

does not work properly unfortunately.

This would be great to have for vbulletin 4, so I'm putting in a mod request (unpaid). Unfortunately, this mod author hasn't logged in since 2013.

One glaring problem is that it seems to create multiple css files (perhaps one per unique visitor?) in the cache folder. This should be changed to have only one css per template/style to rule them all instead of winding up with thousands of css files. Plus it also seemed to mess up with some css, disfiguring the appearance.
