I am building a chat application(http://tiny.chat http://tiny.chat) that will use less bandwidth. Is it worth optimizing reduce as many bytes as possible? Or the end user doesn't care if there are couple of extra KB used?

A couple KB shouldn't make much of a difference. If your app explodes in popularity, then yes, you should make every effort to optimize.

    To be honest, for a couple KB's worth of difference, probably not. But I'd assume it'd be good practice to optimize the best you can regardless.
