I made a tiny jQuery library replacement a while back and I found similar things to the author; you should not be measuring the raw text representation, but the final gzip size, every time you make an optimization. I go through a list of examples that I found where it does or it does not matter whether you "optimize" it for size or not. I also theorize (I do not have enough knowledge to verify my claims though) why this is happening: https://medium.com/@fpresencia/understanding-gzip-size-836c74b66c0b https://medium.com/@fpresencia/understanding-gzip-size-836c7...
