 +===== Asset Pipeline =====
  
 +Starting with VuFind 3.1, there is an optional "asset pipeline" which can be used to combine Javascript and/or CSS files together to reduce the number of HTTP requests necessary to load VuFind pages. This is turned off by default but can be activated using the asset_pipeline setting in [[configuration:files:config.ini|config.ini]].
 +
 +===== Theme Compiler =====
 +
 +Starting with VuFind 4.1, there is a [[administration:command_line_utilities|command-line tool]] known as the "theme compiler" which can be run to flatten a hierarchy of themes into a single flat theme, reducing the amount of file searching VuFind needs to do in order to find assets and templates.
 +
 +To use a compiled theme, follow these steps:
 +
 +1. Run "php $VUFIND_HOME/public/index.php compile theme [your theme] [your compiled theme]" at the command line.
 +
 +2. Update your [[configuration:files:config.ini|config.ini]] file to use [your compiled theme] instead of [your theme] in the theme setting.
 +
 +Note: NEVER EDIT THE COMPILED THEME. Instead, edit the source theme and recompile it when you need to make changes. You must use the --force switch of the compiler if you need to overwrite your compiled theme with a new version.
