Apr 22, 2014 at 18:56 comment added web-tiki I wasn't talking about download time, I was talking about server response time. I think you are right about the images and that they often are the cause of long page download but you don't answer my question. In other words, I was talking about server side optimizations and not download time.
Apr 22, 2014 at 18:37 comment added Don Gilbert +1 that's correct. But there are some compressing plugins available on the JED that don't cache and actually hurt the site response time.
Apr 22, 2014 at 18:34 comment added Gev Balyan @DonGilbert The way we compress the JS/CSS are being cached in a folder in the root of your Joomla folder :)

Apr 22, 2014 at 18:29 comment added Don Gilbert Compressing tools that don't cache can actually increase server response time, since it adds processing time to the server response.
Apr 22, 2014 at 18:28 comment added David Fritsch All good tools. @GevBalyan, I'd recommend adding things like this into your answer with links. Saves people some googling! You can even edit this answer to add them into this one. :)
Apr 22, 2014 at 18:27 comment added Ashwin Date I've also successfully used JCH optimize for achieving a lot of the compression and minification. Another option is to use Apache's mod_pagespeed which basically implements most of Google Pagespeed's recommendations.
Apr 22, 2014 at 18:25 comment added Gev Balyan We always use Pingdom Tools to analyze the website speed and we use T3 Framework's built in feature to optimize JS/CSS!
Apr 22, 2014 at 18:24 comment added David Fritsch What tools do you use for JS/CSS compressing? Any recommendations about how someone could analyze their website like you have done for your sites?
