What is Code Minification?
Code minification is the process of removing all unnecessary characters from source code without changing its functionality. This includes removing whitespace, line breaks, comments, and shortening variable names. Minified code takes up less space and downloads faster, improving website performance and user experience.
Our minifier processes your JavaScript, CSS, and HTML files to create production-ready versions that load faster. The tool also includes a beautify option to reverse the process and make minified code readable again. Always keep your original source files for development and use minified versions only in production.
