Aptimizing Your Web Content
Description
This profile provides basic optimization settings appropriate
for safely accelerating most Web applications. It includes
CSS StyleSheet inlining, CSS minification, background
image inlining, JavaScript minification, compression, and
image shrinking and metadata removal. You can use this
profile as a template for creating new profiles customized to
the optimization requirements of your Web applications.
This profile is designed to enable a useful number of basic
optimization techniques that work well on a wide range of
Web sites. These techniques include shrinking CSS, inlining CSS background images, minifying JavaScript,
shrinking images, URL versioning and advanced caching.
This profile enables more advanced optimization techniques
in addition to those offered by the Basic profile, including
combination of CSS style sheets and combination of HTML
images into image sprites. These techniques will
dramatically reduce page load time, but may require
customized rules for compatibility with some sites. In this
case, you would clone the profile in order to create a custom
Aptimizer profile (discussed below).
If these profiles cannot offer you the desired level of optimization across all elements
of your Web site, you can opt to create a new custom Aptimizer Profile that fulfills
your specific requirements.
New custom profiles can be created in the Create a new Aptimizer Profile section using
one of the built-in profiles as a template. Select the desired template profile from the
drop-down list and click the Create Aptimizer Profile button. Built-in profiles can
also be duplicated to create new custom profiles using the Save As option on the Edit
profile page.
Custom profiles provide a range of additional acceleration options, as discussed in
the Understanding Custom Acceleration Profiles section below.
Optimization Modes and Page Information
Aptimizer can run in one of three modes, defined using the aptimizer_mode
configuration key:

Off: Acceleration is disabled, but requests for Aptimizer resources are served.
