How much does these uglifiers slow down the code for a the client? Especially if you're using a mobile or slow arm machine? I started to think about these things when u started using an arm based chromebook. Stupidly bloated js heavy sites started to stand out. Facebook is unusable, slightly better if you disable extensions.

Smaller payload, easier for browser to parse the code because it doesn't have any unnecessary white space, comments and characters. Also not the best solution to security, but does obscure the code to make it harder for malicious client to read through the code.
- koolba 9y agoMinification makes code both faster to download (less total bytes) and faster to execute (less memory usage for symbols and dead code elimination).
- angry-hacker 9y agoWell, in most cases my test with minifiers is that output code performs worse than uncompressed code.
- Klathmon 9y agoWhat minifiers? Some do very much trade speed for size, but in my experience the opposite is overwhelmingly true.
