Minify is a PHP-based HTTP server that combines, minifies, and serves CSS and JavaScript assets with appropriate caching headers like conditional GET and long Expires. It also rewrites relative URLs in CSS and can serve static files directly from the filesystem for better performance.

Use cases

• combine and minify css and javascript files on a php site
• reduce http requests for js and css assets
• serve minified assets with long expires caching headers
• rewrite relative urls in combined css files
• serve static js and css files efficiently from php

When to choose

• you maintain a legacy php application that already uses Minify
• you need on-the-fly asset combining and minification in a php environment without a build step

When to avoid

• you are starting a new project - the authors no longer recommend it and it may break on modern JS/CSS syntax
• you can use a build-time bundler or minifier instead
• you run a very high-traffic site where PHP CGI overhead would make it slower than your web server
