Code Minifier
A code minifier removes unnecessary characters from source code without changing its functionality, making the code smaller and faster to load.
Benefits of Minification
- Reduced File Size: Smaller files load faster and use less bandwidth
- Improved Performance: Faster page load times and better user experience
- Lower Bandwidth Costs: Reduced data transfer saves hosting costs
- Better Compression: Minified files compress better for additional savings
What Gets Removed
- Comments and formatting
- Unnecessary whitespace and line breaks
- Long variable names (in advanced minification)
- Unused code (in advanced minification)
Best Practices
- Always keep original source files
- Use source maps for debugging
- Test minified code before deployment
- Include minification in your build process
