COMPRESSING WITH MINIFY (PHP exec not available or java not found)

Hi, MMR will try to minify javascript with Google Closure if it can execute the java file from PHP. It looks like your hosting doesn’t allow this. Your javascript will be minified with PHP Minify instead.

Closure will typically result in better minification and smaller files but it takes longer and needs hosting permission.

Just one more question. It looked to me like using java is more CPU intensive. I know java is not particularly lean. Does that track with your experience?

It would be great if there were an option to not use java even if it is available.

Thank you ??

PS: It would also be great to get some kind of reporting if the minify libraries are not able to minify. I expect they would report an error status.

Yes in my experience Java does use more CPU. I’ll see if we can add those features. If you have the skills feel free to have a go and provide a patch.

Okay thanks for confirming. I may give it a go.

I saw you already implemented this through PHP global variables. Thank you!
