Synopsis: Who doesn’t want faster loading web sites? The inter-wide-web-nets are all ablaze about concatenation and minifying to help with web page load times. I will go over one method that automates the process of concatenating and minifying your next/current/old WordPress theme utilizing the Ant Build script. Not only will you look like a slick web developer, but your sites will load faster for all users…which no one will complain about. This session is designed for comfortable WordPress theme builders/editors looking to add a new trick to their already formidable tool box, or anyone just looking to learn a bit about concatenation and/or minification.
