It may seem really marginal, but any time you can save downloading assets on page load is money. Everyone should be using gzip already, but minification shaves

It may seem really marginal, but any time you can save downloading assets on page load is money. Everyone should be using gzip already, but minification shaves off precious milliseconds on top of that.
- chubot 11y agoExcept that your typical web site using minification is leaving hundreds or thousands of milliseconds on the table in other ways. They are minifying out of habit, not because they actually measured anything going faster. If they actually measured, then they'd be looking at the number of assets per page.
