Frequently Asked Questions
Does minification change my code behavior?
No. Minification only removes whitespace, comments, and shortens variable names. The functionality remains identical.
How much smaller will my code be?
Typically 30-70% smaller depending on code style, comments, and formatting. Heavily commented code sees larger reductions.
Should I minify during development?
No. Keep readable code during development. Only minify for production builds to maintain debuggability.
Is my code secure?
Yes! All processing happens locally in your browser. Your code never leaves your device.
