Minification is the process of stripping content from web files without changing any of the behavior.

UltraCart will automatically offload graphic, CSS, JS, etc. off to the CDN (content delivery network) for faster page loading times. Our CDN helps UltraCart scale to handle high traffic times for your website, but also provides faster load times for your customer. If certain assets on your website are loaded repeatedly, UltraCart will also push them to the edge of the CDN so that it is even fewer hops across the internet for a customer's browser to fetch the content. The entire goal is to make the page load times optimal for the customer. When graphics, CSS, and JS is offloaded to the CDN you many notice slight changes to the files. UltraCart will utilize the following suffixes in file naming.
