What's the difference between minification and uglification?

Minification is a simpler process of removing unnecessary characters. Uglification is a more advanced form of compression, primarily for JavaScript, that also renames variables and functions to shorter names, making the code harder to read but even smaller. Our tool performs minification.

Is my code sent to your server?

No. All minification processes are performed directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your code is never uploaded or stored on our servers, ensuring your data remains completely private and secure.

Should I minify my code during development?

No, you should only minify your code for the production version of your website. During development, keeping the original, readable code with comments and proper indentation is essential for debugging and collaboration.

Why You Should Minify Your Code

Minification is the process of removing all unnecessary characters from source code without altering its functionality. This includes whitespace, newlines, comments, and block delimiters. It's a critical step in web development for optimizing your site's performance.

The Core Benefits of Minification

Faster Page Load Times: Smaller file sizes mean faster downloads for your users. This directly improves the user experience and is a key factor in Google's Core Web Vitals.
Reduced Bandwidth Costs: By serving smaller files, you reduce your overall bandwidth consumption, which can lead to cost savings on your hosting bill.
Improved SEO Rankings: Site speed is a known ranking signal for search engines. A faster, optimized site is more likely to rank higher than a slow one.
