Is combine.php script serving up the cached files? COOL SCRIPT in theory - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support


can php knowledge please @ combine.php script.

i searched forum , didn't find on script.
i got running not sure if browsers pulling cache files or not.
i hoping can tell me how can tell if serving cached files or not.

combine.php blog post ---  http://rakaz.nl/item/make_your_pages_load_faster_by_combining_and_compressing_javascript_and_css_files#nucleus_cf
combine.php script link -- http://rakaz.nl/projects/combine/combine.phps

i got working , pointing js , css folders -- script creating gzipped files in "cache2" folder created. can't seem tell if server outputting "cached2" folder.

the way understand how script works looking in folder specify myhost/css *.css -- if finds css gzip , place gzipped version in cache folder (new htaccess rewrite rule) and server supposed serve up. but if original css file gets modified write new gzip. there if checks freshness of original css against gzipped version.

however i can not think of way test if getting served gzip version or not. since script seems sort of check against original. if move the original, no css output, if modify original new gzip in cache. ???

p.s
after great deal of effort, got site home page (no modules loaded)  http requests down 46 16 requests using techniques found on link. lumping of js 1 line of code separated comma's works great. site moving alot faster. not sure if speed increase due me optimizing homepage or combine.php script.
