Pakt
WTF?
Pakt is javascript and css minifier and combiner, with an optional CDN component. It combines your css files into one, resolving document-relative paths along the way. It also hosts any images that those css files happen to reference, or that are requested directly. It is designed to work with a site that has a sub-domain set aside for hosting static files (ie: static.yourdomain.tld)
Who Cares?
Developers and designers who want their sites to load fast, that's who. Pakt works disturbingly well with the Gourd Toolset.
What's wrong with it?
- Pakt does not resolve root-relative URLs in css files. All your css files should contain either explicit URLs (http://fonts.google.com/Verdana) or document relative URLs (../assets/dog.jpg)
- It does not resolve paths in javascript files. Other than minifying and combining .js files, pakt does not change URLs in them.
- It currently will explode if your file-names happen to include bangs (!) or commas (,). That may change in the future.
- It currently cannot combine files from more than one domain, but that may change in the future.
