Why not just use GZIP to reduce scripts download time?
TrickyScripter is not replacement for GZIP and it can be used in addition to GZIP. GZIP is a universal compressor; TrickyScripter is a specialized source code optimizer and obfuscator. Use them together to achieve best possible results. Try this simple exercise: • Compress some script with GZIP. • Process the same file with TrickyScripter, and then compress it with GZIP. What file is smaller? Usually an optimized and compressed file is about 30-60% smaller than a non-optimized compressed file. It is easy to see why: scripts without comments, redundant spaces and tabs, and same names for all local variables can be compressed much better. However, GZIP traffic compression is used on many servers, but not all. Support on server side is not needed for TrickyScripter, so you can use it in all your projects on any servers or even without servers (to optimize WSH scripts, extensions for applications etc.).
