Inliner
Avoid inline/embedded code !!!
Using external files is a classical Web Performance Optimization (references), but sometimes it's better to include your styles/scripts in the web page.
- you have small assets (a few KBs)
- the cost of making a request is greater (new DNS queries, mobile network, ..)
- you never expect return visitors (landing page, temporary campaign, ...)
Inliner is a small library on the top of Microsoft.Web.Optimization (aka asp.net Bundling & Minification), that allow you to embed your resources/bundles in a web page.
