@kayb this would require some troubleshooting in your end. The most likely culprit is that some of the original Javascript does not minify well (could for example be caused by a missing semi-colon). I suggest installing firebug and then checking if you get any JS errors to pinpoint the issue.

Hi @all, I had the same

Hi @all,

I had the same problems with losing all my css and js files in my pages after reinstalling the Speedster.
After uninstalling speedster just remove the entry in the SQL database e.g:
DELETE FROM core_config_data WHERE path LIKE '%speedster%';

Please keep in mind that you also have to remove all related files of the Speedster Extension within your magento root folder.

BR,
tommy

Here a few fixes, from most likely to unlikely;

- You've ran the compiler. Open /includes/config.php and uncomment both lines. The admin JS/CSS should return. Run the compilation process again; it should run okay and compilation is re-enabled.

- You don't have the right permissions. Put permissions 755 (or chmod +x) on /lib/minify/m.php, permissions 777 on var/minifycache and chmod -R 777 the directory app/code/community/Fooman.

- Clear your cache (by deleting everyting in var/cache).

To all who lost their styles

To all who lost their styles

To be short,
just move the folder named 'm' with .htaccess file from magento root to your 'skin' folder. and now clear cache and check !!!

To be in detail

1. When you install this extension there's a folder called 'm' created inside your /www/html/magento which has .htaccess file.

2. So all you have to do is move the folder 'm' which has an .htaccess file from the magento root to your Skin folder of the magento installation.

3. Go to var/cache folder and delete the files inside.

4. Now load your admin panel / front end.

Now your store loads in a speed of tsunami :-)

Enjoy this powerful extension. Thanks a lot Kristof aka Fooman.

Review by uri5 (Posted on 11/11/11) see the review on Magento Connect

ok. Been on this one today

ok. Been on this one today with errors and so on. Here is what working for me (CE 1.6.1):
First though, some people commented folder "minify" not showing up in their server or permissions not updating- answer refresh your FTP client worked for me.
Next, If you are like me and Configuration-Advanced- (disable speedster) then what I had to do to fix was uninstall speedster, return to admin panel and open separate tabs for recompile, index management, cache. Leave these open and use 4th tab to magento connect and install speedster again with disabled during updating checkbox unchecked- HAHA! go back to the 3 tabs and update all things - you may lose css and js interface for a few seconds until all 3 tabs have resolved. DO ALL THIS WITH Fooman_Speedster.xml set to false (almost forgot to mention it). Now its working again.
Here is what I think is causing the problem many of us have mentioned here:
Server folder permissions are setup automatically recursive for new files and folders added later or, in my case, I chmod for this to happen. So, while Speedster is installing itself it may be failing due to redundant permission settings on the server. hmmm?

Worked. Thanks a ton. You need to follow the instructions on is website http://store.fooman.co.nz/magento-extension-speedster.html
Speedster 2.0
Unpack the downloaded zip file in your Magento root folder. Please make sure that /lib/minify/m.php is executable (permissions like 755 on the file itself and the containing folder should work) .
Delete the contents of the /var/cache folder to force Magento to update its configuration (alternatively refresh the configuration cache in your Magento backend).
Minifying JS and CSS takes a while to compute. This only needs to be done once per JS/CSS combination and is then written to a cache. To make sure the cache gets filled up simply browse your store and your customers should have a faster experience than before.

Review by braboin (Posted on 6/10/11) see the review on Magento Connect

I use FireBug to pinpoint

I use FireBug to pinpoint any CSS styling elements that I want to tweak on my site, however since installing this new extension, FireBug no longer shows the relevant line in the CSS file to notify me where my styling elements are located in my Styles.css - instead it's showing me lines of code in a Widgets.css file which doesn't help me in the slightest...

So, when I have to trawl through the best part of 3000 lines of code in CSS to find the chunk I am looking for, I find that the FireBug function is VERY HELPFUL INDEED, and a real time-saver. Now I don't have that essential workflow tool anymore and it's a bit irksome!

Although this new extension seems to render my site a bit faster, now, when I want to work on bug-fixing my CSS, it's going to a problem and will take a bunch more time styling my site, and when my free time to work on my site comes at a bit of a premium, well, let's just say, this extension seems to have created more work for me... Just sayin' in case anyone else is out there thinking about this...

Thanks though, it was the FIRST extension in a long time to install properly on my site without any giving me any critical errors that needed to be addressed, so that was a real relief!

Hi, I'm using your extension

Hi,

I'm using your extension for my multi store setup. However it's not working for my second, third and forth domain. I've installed Magento into domain A and I got several shop called B, C & D. Without the extension all of my shops are shown correctly. If I install the extension via Magento Connect only domain A is showing correctly. Domain B, C & D are viewable but it seems they are without a skin. They CMS page is showing.
I didn't make symbolic links so I think that might be the problem/solutions. Could you verify this?

I had the exact same issue

I had the exact same issue as hikertommy. His instruction works for me! The file and directory permission ware set at 666 and 777 for. Worked right away after resetting both to 755. Be sure to turn off compilation off and after installing speedster, run the compilation process again.

Installed 2.07 on mage 1.4.1.1

Installed 2.07 on mage 1.4.1.1

Working very well. Originally I followed instruction to change permissions but had a no load of css or JS in back or frontend (the broken look for users struggling to install with that issue)

What I had overlooked was when setting /lib/minify/m.php to 755, make sure the folder /lib/minify/ is also set to 755 as there can be an issue with a default setting of 777. Same applies to /var/minifycache just encase.

You should not need to edit any .htaccess

Thank you fooman, brilliant contribution to the world.

Aha, I just read elsewhere that there are no settings for the back-end.

Review by wielloem (Posted on 8/06/11) see the review on Magento Connect

For me it doesn't work on

For me it doesn't work on the back-end. The url length of the combined css and js files becomes too long. Perhaps this is only a problem on IIS.

On the front-end it seems to work OK, so I manually disabled it for the back-end.

I also haven't seen any settings in the back-end by the way (I notice other people comment on it as well)..

One critical note, I would've liked the plugin more if the url would be shortened.

I'm thankful to the developper though!

Is it this extension that has combined all the seperate CSS file locations in to one long html link in the head of a document?

What I would like to be able to control is the ability to split the style sheets in to seperate links instead of one long path_to_css_file, path_to_another_css_file, path_to_another_css_file....

Anyone able to help?

The exact same thing happened to me as well. I use dependent custom options and it was broke, as well as the admin (no javascript to get drop downs or submit anything). When I checked one of the javascript files in the header was actually an error instead of the compressed javascript code. I tried to get it to work, but had to uninstall it.

On a side note, on my test site it installed smoothly. No idea why the difference.

Review by iambobafett (Posted on 2/01/11) see the review on Magento Connect

I was hoping this would work

I was hoping this would work for me but unfortunately it broke one of my most critical extensions called dependent custom options. It basically broke dependency so that all of my custom options were expanded out and no longer dependent. Perhaps this isn't compatible with that extension. However, I also noticed that when I logged into the Admin none of the links worked. I couldn't go anywhere and I was stuck on the dashboard. The css wasn't gone like others have mentioned, and everything looked normal but I just couldn't do anything, none of the links worked, it was weird. I eventually had to log into the downloader to uninstall and as soon as I did everything went back to normal and started working again. I'm so bummed...

ps. I'm referring to version 2.0.5

Great extension! Installation

Great extension! Installation was a breeze... just make sure your folder and file permissions are correct.

I have a FIOS connection and with that you can't tell any difference but I installed the Firefox Throttle extension for Firefox and set it to default at 56K connection speed. Before installing Speedster it took 90 seconds to load at 56k... a minute and a half. After installing Speedster, adding cache control headers, and of course clearing browser cache between tests, it loads in 22 seconds flat. Amazing!

On GTmetrix I was gettin a D's for both YSlow and Page Speed, now I get A's for both, not to mention page size and number of requests are way down.

I haven't fully tested the cart but so far it seems to work without issue.

Great work Fooman!

I wish I could get this. I just can't seem to get the installation right .. it strips off the CSS from the front-end as well as the admin panel. And I had to go back to the MagentoConnect downloader to uninstall it to get things to work again. On one attempt I couldn't even access my admin backend till I rolled back the changes on the .htaccess. Gave me plenty of nervous moments there.

We need a "Complete Idiot's Guide" for this installation, for people like me who don't understand .htacess, blah, blah and would ideally like to install it with a few clicks.

Hi Fooman, I think I got

Hi Fooman, I think I got the module to work, except for two things.

1.The background images, part of the css are not loading in my local setup.( http:localhost/). Could it be because of the base_url not being set for the development machines?

2.The dropdown menu (DHTML) in the admin screens stopped working too. ( In IE it shows some javascript error 'Element is undefined')

Can you please tell me how to fix the above, without which I wont be able to test the site if there are any style changes, before moving to production, and I can't afford to loose the admin side working either.

Here is what I did with the zip files.

1. Copied the community folder contents to my community folder.
2. Copied the Fooman_Speedster.xml to the etc/modules of my working directory.
3.COpied the js/prototype/validation-4min.js to my js/prototype of my working directory
4. copied the minify folder into the lib folder of my working directory.
5. copied the below lined from the .htacces.speedster to my .htaccess file.

############################################
## Compress, Combine and Cache Javascript/CSS
RewriteRule ^(index.php/)?minify/([^/]+)(/.*.(js|css))$ lib/minify/m.php?f=$3&d=$2

Now,I cleared cache and checked the frontend. All styles are loaded... but the images in the style for eg :
.logo a (line 732)

{

width: 284px;

height: 89px;

background-image: url(/skin/frontend/default/mydomain/images/logo.png);

background-position: left top;

background-repeat: no-repeat;

display: block;

} is not displaying.

Please help me on this one and the other admin dhtml problem.

Hi Fooman, I am not sure

Hi Fooman, I am not sure if this it the right place to post this message, but I thought if you could help.

I have been having problems installing any new extension on my system through the admin - system - magento connect - magento connect manager

While it doesn\'t throw any errors, the module itself is not installed. However the tgz file is downloaded to my downloader\'s download folder. (\\downloader\\pearlib\\download\\)


for instance, I wanted to install the speedster ext. I got the ext. key and went throught the steps. Here is the message on the console.

downloading Fooman_Speedster-1.1.3.tgz ...
Starting to download Fooman_Speedster-1.1.3.tgz (74,934 bytes)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...done: 74,934 bytes
install ok: channel://connect.magentocommerce.com/community/Fooman_Speedster-1.1.3

after this the page refreshes and nothing happens...

there is a \"Fooman_Speedster-1.1.3.tgz\" file and a \"Fooman_Speedster-1.1.3\" folder in the download folder

does anyone know what could be the problem. Anyway help would be much appreciated.

thanks
Anisha

"System - Configuration - Advanced" this setting overrides the output of the extension, ie no head content visible.

The AJAX Libraries API is

The AJAX Libraries API is a content distribution network and loading architecture for the most popular open source JavaScript libraries. By using the Google AJAX API Loader's google.load() method, your application has high speed, globaly available access to a growing list of the most popular JavaScript open source libraries including:
jQuery
jQuery UI
Prototype
script.aculo.us
MooTools
Dojo
SWFObjectNew!
Yahoo! User Interface Library (YUI)New!

Would it be possible to use Speedster in combination with the Google AJAX API Loader? Btw, I'm not a programmer.

I followed the install instructi

I followed the install instructions to a T. After much frustration, I finally got this working on a 1.1.6 install w/ the default theme. My problem? Permissions of course! For some reason the speedster install script created the folder lib/minify with 777 permissions, which my server freaked out at and returned a 500 Internal Server Error. Once I changed that folder to 755 all is well. Took me awhile to notice what the problem was though...

The pages do indeed load like lightening now! The javascript load went from 257Kb on the default installation to 50Kb with speester installed. Well done and thanks!

Now why the hell isn't this extension integrated into Magento by default? Everyone bitches about load times... well the Javascript overhead is the number one culprit and minifying helps a ton. Of course, if they really wanted to lower the overhead they'd switch to JQuery and leave behind the somewhat archaic Prototype/Scriptaculous duo.

Mine now is like the demo store in that it has hard coded products that are not brought through from a database call. The homepage is now like a 'splash' screen that literally loads menus, javascript and CSS for whatever the visitor clicks next. I am not impressed with the speed of the Magento product right now.

excellent extension! unfortunate

excellent extension! unfortunately it's not working properly in my case.... i'm using a modified modern theme. and fooman speedster v0.7.10. all the js and css are compressed and called properly, but certain images (all of those that are called from within css files) are missing.... for example the "layered_nav_head_bg.gif" is missing..... this is the address info i've got from firebug for the missing image above: http://localhost/magento/minify/0/skin/frontend/default/modern/css/reset.css,/skin/frontend/default/modern/css/sup_facts.css,/skin/frontend/default/modern/css/boxes.css,/skin/frontend/default/modern/css/clears.css,/skin/frontend/default/modern/css/magento/skin/frontend/default/modern/images/layered_nav_head_bg.gif.... am i missing something? please help and thanks for the very useful extension.

@skippybosco: Cheers for

@skippybosco:

Cheers for your suggestions. Some feedback on it:

1.) I made a conscious decision to keep this out of the backend. The reason for this is that I want to keep the entry point which serves up the files to be as light weight as possible. If it was integrated minify would have to load Magento as a huge overhead.

2.) The files which are served by minify have an expires header of 1 year. Did you have something longer in mind? For other files you would have to change your server settings.

3.) I will keep this on the radar for future improvements

4.) the minified files should already have an Etag, all other files, images etc are not handled by this extension and need to be optimised separately.

You should file a request with the Magento team about the 15 images.

thanks

Thanks for this great extension.

Thanks for this great extension.

Some suggestions for future versions:

1) Tie it to the backend administration of cache control for enabling, disabling and clearing of the cache.

2) Adding far future Expires header

3) Caching gzip versions of all if available (print.css, for example in the default magento theme is not being compressed)

4) Configure Etags for all

Essentially this would take Magento from a D in YSlow with this extension enabled to a B. If there was anything that could be done about the 15 background images in the default theme than it would be an A :-)

@PC Games Plus, oldsteel68 - I've both send you a message - hoepfully we can get to the bottom of this. I also noticed that you are both running the blue theme and wonder if it is related. Do you both also have the blog extension enabled?

@chrissjamer - as a workaround I would suggest calling the files directly in the .xml files if you can. The yahoo performance group also advises against using @import.

@oldsteel68 - have you added the additional information to the htaccess and is mod_rewrite enabled on your server? minify is only a "virtual" folder forwarding all css and js call to the minify entry point /lib/minify/m.php

@PC Games Plus - can you please confirm that you are comparing apples with apples, ie is this behaviour noticeable when you compare loading your pages with and without the extensions with a freshly emptied browser cache each time? Not sure what else can cause a difference in loading times for CSS images which can be attributed to my extension.

@Loc: minify and by extension FOOMAN speedster does modify css to achieve its result. For example comments are removed (the library has some logic to keep the most common hacks intact, but not sure about the most obscure ones). It also tries to shorten css where possible.

@ixoster: please have a look at this thread in the forum http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/236/P30/ to see if this helps with trouble shooting.

If you still have problems, post in the above thread with the following info: View the source code of your page and see how your urls for JS and CSS look like. Try pasting those into the address bar and see what happens. Also try just opening the minify entry point. It is located here /lib/minify/m.php

@sibble: When I finally loaded

@sibble: When I finally loaded this module onto our live site, it initially broke our CSS, but after back tracking, I found that the .htaccess file was edited incorrectly. Make sure that the .htaccess file is edited exactly as per instructions. Because our site has magento installed in public_html/shop/ I edited the recommended changes to reflect this. After taking it back as per instructions, it worked fine. Remember to double check installation notes on .htaccess, file permissions and page.xml fix on your layout. I did this successfully on 1.1.6... no bugs so far.

This extension solves (for the most part) one of my biggest complaints about Magento. Installation was easy and very straightforward. I only ran into one small problem, but it was promptly fixed with the latest 0.7.3 release. I forgot to save the before results, but here they are after installing this extension:

3.8K 1 HTML/Text
51.1K 1 JavaScript File
11.2K 2 Stylesheet Files
15.3K 9 CSS Images
18.3K 7 Images
99.9K Total size
20 HTTP requests

Which is very acceptable. I also received a performance grade of B (81) in YSlow, and this extension was a big part of that. Ignore the low rating. This extension deserves 5 stars.
