Hi,

On the frontpage it says that jquery-1.4.2.min.js is 24 kB.
But when I download the file, it seems like it is as much as 70 kB.

Am I wrong? Should it be like this?

Thank you for your answer.

Does this mean that we have to gzip it ourselves to get it down to 24 kB?

You can get a gzipped version from Microsoft or Google CDN:

http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js

http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js

Most of the time the server does the gzipping when it sends out the file. Not all servers gzip their content, and most only gzip text files since files like jpg or gif are already compressed.

Maybe there's something being lost in the translation, but the above two links, which I understand to be gzipped versions, are still over 70KB in size, not 24KB.

Why are these over 70k and what do we have to do to get these down to the reported 24KB size? Do I need to use something like StuffIt to convert these to zips and will my script somehow be able to parse a gzipped file?

Thanks.

Thanks for the post i've been looking for this all day

I download the file but it was still 70kb.

Like Dave said gzips are done by server. So I tried directly linking the jquery file from the google to my website

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"> </script>

Now the website runs faster and the jquery file that my website uses is 24kb. I tested it from http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/

PS. Jquery file from MS was something like 32kb. So i would rather use the google's
