What Is This?
JSCompress.com is an online javascript compressor that allows you to compress your javascript files using a few different
compression algorithms like JSMin and Packer.
Compressed javascript files are ideal for production environments since they typically reduce the size of the file by 30-90%.
Most of the filesize reduction is achieved by removing comments and extra whitespace characters that are not needed by
web browsers or visitors.
Why Would I Want To Compress Javascript?
There are a number of reasons why compressing your javascript files is a good idea:
- Quicker download times for your users.
- Reduced bandwidth consumption of your website.
- Reduced number of HTTP requests on your server when combining many javascript files into one compressed file, thus reducing the server load and allowing more visitors to access your website.
- Comments and whitespace are not needed for javascript execution; Removing them will speed up script execution times.
