 * Hi I would like to use this exactly method below – compression php script for
   faster loading.
    That is ricky for me, though I am trying this on localhost. 
   I followed steps here[https://code.google.com/p/compress/](https://code.google.com/p/compress/)
   though couldn’t find a way to handle with it.
 * Can anybody tell how to combine this code with WordPress child theme?
 *     ```
       //		prepare combined, minfied and combined, minified and gzipped css and js files
       file_compress('css_schedule.css',array('../CSS/menu.css','../CSS/ThreeColumnFixed.css','../CSS/sprite.css','../CSS/iCal.css'));
       file_compress('css_non_schedule.css',array('../CSS/menu.css','../CSS/ThreeColumnFixed.css','../CSS/sprite.css'));
       file_compress('css_schedule_ie7.css',array('../CSS/menuIE.css','../CSS/ThreeColumnFixed.css','../CSS/sprite.css','../CSS/iCal.css'));
       file_compress('css_non_schedule_ie7.css',array('../CSS/menuIE.css','../CSS/ThreeColumnFixed.css','../CSS/sprite.css'));
       file_compress('css_ie6.css',array('../CSS/menuIE6.css','../CSS/ThreeColumnFixedIE6.css','../CSS/sprite.css'));
       file_compress('js_schedule.js',array('../JS/Schedule.js','../JS/iCal.js','../JS/Findit.js','../JS/UlScroll.js','../ExternalConnect/External.js'));
       file_compress('js_non_schedule.js',array('../JS/Findit.js','../JS/UlScroll.js','../ExternalConnect/External.js'));
       ```
   
 * There are some plugins, but…
    I do not use plugins intendly trying to learn a
   bit of server side.

 * Is that right way to place code into functions.php or directly into header.php?
 *     ```
       require_once('compress_timestamp.php');         //load timestamp created by compress.php module sets field $compress_stamp=unix_timestamp
       if (stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'],'GZIP')!==false)
               $gz='gz';
        else
               $gz=null;
       echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="min/css_schedule_'.$compress_stamp.'.css'.$gz.'" />',PHP_EOL;
       //    the following scripts were combined into css_schedule
             echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />',PHP_EOL;
             echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../twentyfourteen/style.css" />',PHP_EOL;
       //      echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="CSS/sprite.css" />',PHP_EOL;
       //      echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="CSS/iCal.css" />',PHP_EOL;
       ```
   
 * I indicated paths to css files: child and parent, but no data in compress_timestamp.
   php appears. Where am I wrong?
