@NogDogJul 15.2021 — #In general, text files such as javascript files are transferred quickly (unless your internet is very slow), as the actual number of bytes is small compared to things like large image files, or even more so video files. While "minifying" files should make them even faster, probably more important in many cases is reducing the _number_ of files, since each file needs a separate HTTP request to fetch it (and the browser typically has a limit as to how many it will request concurrently). Therefore, if you have numerous JS and CSS files, you might be better served speed-wise by merging them into a single JS file and a single CSS file where practical, before worrying about shrinking them further.
Rule #1 though: measure first, then fix. Use any of the many tools out there to measure/analyze web page performance to see where the real problems are, then fix them -- rather than just trying random things to see if they help.
javascript remove all space before public website
I saw many website remove their javascript’s space to make it difficult to understand.
so I want to know it will make website load faster?
or other reason?
