Why Minify Code?
Minification is the process of removing unnecessary characters from source code without changing its functionality. This includes removing whitespace, newlines, and comments.
For modern websites, every kilobyte counts. Minifying your files has direct benefits:
- Faster Load Times: Smaller files download quicker, improving your "Largest Contentful Paint" (LCP) score.
- Bandwidth Savings: Reduces the amount of data transferred between your server and the user.
- SEO Boost: Google uses PageSpeed as a ranking factor. Faster sites rank higher.
Supported Languages
- HTML: Removes comments, collapses whitespace between tags.
- CSS: Removes comments, strips spaces around brackets and colons.
- JavaScript: Removes comments and excessive whitespace safe for browser execution.
