Speedup for Loading of TinyMCE editors

Posted on April 19, 2007 By Stephen Heuer

I was worried about the size of the tinyMCE javascript files and the length of time it takes to load tinyMCE into textareas. I ran across the tinyMCE Compressor.

The tinyMCE compressor is a backend for reducing the overall download and initialization time for tinyMCE. It consists of a JavaScript loader that requests a page that compresses the specified resources using GZip. This method makes the overall download 75% smaller and the number of requests will also be reduced.

I installed the tinyMCE Compressor into Whippet and the load time for tinyMCE became instantaneous. Because of this wonderful finding I will be installing the tinyMCE Compressor into the core of Arora.
