It wraps your stylesheets and scripts in template tags, parses them for linked and inline resources, applies optional compilers (like LESS or SASS), and outputs optimized `<link>` or `<script>` tags pointing to versioned files. Because the filename is content-dependent, these files can be cached indefinitely without stale-cache concerns.\n\nThe package is highly configurable: you can choose between lxml, BeautifulSoup, html5lib, or a custom HTML parser; swap in different minifiers (YUI Compressor, Closure Compiler, JSMin, csscompressor); or write custom filters for post-processing. For offline workflows, a management command lets you pre-compress assets outside the request cycle. It depends on django, django-appconf, rcssmin, and rjsmin, and supports modern Django versions (4.2 through 6.0) and Python 3.10+.","worth_installing":"Yes. Django Compressor is production-stable, actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and solves a common Django performance need with low install friction. Choose it if you need automatic CSS/JS compression in templates with optional compiler support and offline processing.
