Being a PHP Developer who only recently started using AngularJS I knew almost nothing about the incredible progress front-end development had made since I last created a website.
When we deployed our first AngularJS application over at Qandidate.com a single page view would generate a whopping 56 HTTP requests of which 32 were our own AngularJS files like controllers and services and 12 were 3rd party dependencies.
Since browsers only allow for up to about 8 parallel connections a lot of requests will have to wait for other requests to finish resulting in a poor end-user experience.
In this blog post I will show how you can safely minify and concatenate your AngularJS code.
