Minimee

Minimize, combine & cache your CSS and JS files. Minify your HTML. Because size DOES matter.

Minimee is to EE2 what SL Combinator is to EE1.  But with a few twists:

  • works with the global variables, even {stylesheet}
  • works with external files, over cURL or file_get_contents()
  • embed combined & minified content directly inline to your template
  • queue files for later
  • compatible with server-side compression & caching

Minimee is inspired and influenced by SL Combinator from Experience Internet, and Carabiner Asset Management Library from Tony Dewan. It is released under a BSD 3-Clause License.

Complete and up-to-date documentation can be found on Minimee’s homepage.

Hooks Used

We were on a major mission to improve site performance after upgrading from EE1 to EE2 for a couple of our travel websites. Minimee is a key (free!) ingredient to our fast website recipe.

Great work John.

I’ve been using this for a few months as standard now on all our sites. It’s absolutely rock solid. We can put all the settings in our config file meaning it deploys nicely with our framework.

Good debug option too which makes troubleshooting any problems a quick process.

Great work John!

Well done add-on. Had this working on a client site within a few minutes. I was using regular Minify before, but always had to enable PHP, or add a new file to an array, etc, but this is much easier.

I like that I can avoid the overhead of using the extension by using config variables. Solid work.

Excellent plugin! Unless you’re pre-packing your CSS before deployment, this is a MUST HAVE!

Super add-on – this makes compressing CSS and JS one less thing I have to think about. Thanks!

Works great for combining and caching CSS and JS files, while still allowing you to turn off the extension in the settings for debugging purposes. Wish I’d discovered this a long time ago; this is a must for all our EE sites now.

John, I just want to say this is an ace add-on. It got rid of a sneaky white flash problem for me, on Google Chrome which is presently notorious for this when using dark backgrounds. All good, the more I see how it does on all. Thank you.

Fantastic for making production sites efficient whilst leaving you with all the debugging you need during development. Highly recommended.

Excellent add-on. No longer having to create compressed versions of JS & CSS files manually for live environments – 5/5 stars!
