We rolled out a minor update to our performance scanner software today to address a few bugs and add a feature. We are considering a more regular release cycle, perhaps weekly, of bug fixes, new checks, and new feature. We will keep you posted.
Style Attribute Parsing Bug
We had a bug when parsing CSS information stored in the style attribute for a tag that prevented Zoompf from detecting some references to background images. This has been fixed.
HTTP Compression Reporting Bug
There was an off-by-one bug in how we reported compressible responses that were not using HTTP compression. Our report would say show X number of affected URLs in the Savings Table but report would say that X+1 number of URLs were affected. This has been fixed.
Support for background Tag Attribute
Zoompf would only detect background images that were defined in CSS using the background or background-image properties. Older websites can use the background attribute on the <BODY>, <TABLE>, <TR>, <TH>, or <TD> tags to reference at background image. Zoompf will now detect these images and assess them for performance issues.
