To improve client side performance of Java EE web application, WebUtilities java library can be helpful.

Here is the link :: https://github.com/rpatil26/webutilities.

It is also available through maven central.

Since version 0.0.4 it helps with following performance practices.

1. Minimize HTTP requests - can serve multiple JS/CSS files in one request
2. Client Side Caching - adds proper Cache-Control, Expires header
3. On the fly JS/CSS minification - using YUICompressor
4. Compression - supports 2way compression for gzip/deflate/compress encodings
5. Response Caching at Server - to avoid reprocessing of unchanged resources
6. Add Character Encoding - to let browser know in advance
