What is JavaScript minification?

JavaScript minification removes unnecessary characters from code (whitespace, comments, newlines) without changing functionality. This reduces file size and improves download speed.

Is minified JavaScript still readable?

Minified code is harder to read but functions identically. Keep original source code for development and use minified versions for production.

How much can I reduce JavaScript file size?

Typical reduction is 30-60% depending on coding style. Well-commented code with lots of whitespace sees the most benefit.

Does minification affect JavaScript performance?

Minification improves performance by reducing file size and parse time. The code executes identically to the original.
