Questions tagged [asp.net-optimization]

Questions related to the ASP.NET Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization nuGet package (System.Web.Optimization namespace), which supports bundling and minification of javascript and css files.

Project homepage: https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=aspnetoptimization

The Web optimization framework is installed via NuGet at https://nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization

Description:

The ASP.NET Web optimization framework provides services to improve the performance of your ASP.NET Web applications. Current services provided by the framework include:

bundling - combining multiple scripts or style resources together into a single resource, and thereby requiring browsers to make fewer HTTP requests

minification - making scripts or styles smaller using techniques such variable name shortening, white space elimination, etc.

Additionally, the framework has multiple extensibility points, enabling you to add new services over time.
