jQuery Tools is a collection of the most important user-interface components for today’s websites. It’s a single .js file that weights only 5.8 kb.

The following tools are available:

• jQuery library
• Tabs (One of the most popular JavaScript tool on the web)
• Tooltip (Great looking tooltips. Big or small. Pluggable effects.)
• Scrollable (Allows you to scroll your HTML in wildly different ways)
• Overlay (Visually appealing overlays. This tool is a significant part of the JavaScript/Web 2.0 landscape.)
• Expose (Make your HTML elements stand out)
• Flashembed

You can use all individual tools and or select only a combination of the tools you need.

The file size is definitely not the primary reason why this library speeds up your site. The fact that this tool is a single file makes it performance friendly. According to Yahoo experts, this is the first rule for making highly responsive websites.
