I have been doing a lot of Client-Side development recently and I have found these 7 tools of great help to improve the performance of the website by ‘shrinking’ the size of JavaScript and CSS files, referenced in the site.
JSMin (JavaScript Minifier) - removes comments and unnecessary whitespace from JavaScript files
JSO (JavaScript Optimizer) - allows you to manage your JavaScript and CSS resources and to reduce the amount of data transfered between the server and the client.
Packer – An online JavaScript Compressor
JSCompress.com – Online tool that uses either JSMin or Packer to compress your files
CSS Compressor – Online tool that compresses your CSS file
DigitalOverload JavaScript Minifier – Online tool that minifies your JavaScript files and finally the one I use most frequently:
YUI Compressor – A JavaScript minifier designed to be 100% safe and yields a higher compression ratio than most other tools.

There is also ShrinkSafe from Dojo.
It can be used without dojo toolkit and it's based on Rhino (Javascript engine from Mozilla). I use Shrinksafe and never had a problem! Very good!

How about the google closure compiler, they even host your optimized JS:

Another online css compressor

I wrote a couple of articles a while ago about minifying css/javascript on the fly. They utilise a mod_perl handler which intercepts outgoing css/js and compresses them on the way out. Compressing CSS on the Fly and Compressing JavaScript on the Fly
