# HTTP requests

 * This is probably something that has been said mentioned before but I will repeat
   that with my own words again.
 * As far as syntax highlighting this is by far the best plugin out there at this
   point. The sad thing is the huge amount of Http requests it adds to a website.
   The images for the toolbar (not using sprites) and the js/css files alone add
   an additional 15+ requests when trying to load the website, which for a code 
   highlight plugin alone, that is pretty much unacceptable.
 * The solution provided by the author up to this point isn’t better either. The
   suggestion to use/or switch to another cache plugin just for one plugin isn’t
   exactly the best solution. Not to mention minifying doesn’t help either since
   WP Minify breaks the plugin and you need to exclude crayon.js in order for the
   plugin to work properly (and the rest of the files still don’t get minified properly).
 * My findings so far using the combination of WP Super Cache and WP Minify is that
   by using this plugin alone takes my website http requests from 27 to 43 which
   is beyond reasonable.
 * My hope is that the author can actually put these issues high in the priority
   list as I assume there a lot of people (including me) that like the plugin but
   cannot use it because they can’t justify the performance loss.

 * That was indeed the problem. Odd that this didn’t happen before.
 * Sadly disabling it breaks most of the posts so I will just stick to the negative
   margin values as it has the desirable effect without having to edit all my posts,
   thanks again 🙂

 * I’ve finished minifying and combining the JS and CSS; it’s in the master branch
   now:

 * Take a look at the minify.sh files to see how it’s done.

 * You have done an amazing job. Down to three .css files, one .js and most importantly
   one image. Well done 🙂

 * Thanks, I hope to release this version shortly barring any further bugs people
   find.
