# Optimizing

### Compress JS/CSS

For production use, you may want to utilize gzip for your static CSS/JS assets. This is easy enough! Install `bread-compressor-cli` in a separate folder, such as a folder before your root path and use this package.json file:

```
{
  "name": "adaptcms",
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "npm run development",
    "local": "npm run dev",
    "prod": "npm run production",
    "compress": "bread-compressor -a gzip -s mysite/public/css/*.css mysite/public/js/*.js"
  },
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "bread-compressor-cli": "^1.1.0"
  }
}
```

Keep in mind, any time you run `npm/yarn run prod`, you will need to run the compressor since your browser should still be loading the gzip version of your asset files. Also, if you would like to build brotli files along with gzip, simply remove `-a gzip`.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://learn.adaptcms.com/adaptcms/advanced/optimizing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
