Minification is the process of reducing the file size of a textual static asset. We do this by various means, including stripping out comments, removing whitespace, and shortening variable names. It can also be useful to obfuscate code to make it harder to reverse engineer.
Minification is still useful when you use HTTP/2, but you should be careful when testing to compare pre-minified and post-minified file sizes, after the lossless compression has also been applied.
As discussed previously, you should use HTTP content compression with at least the GZIP or DEFLATE algorithms, and preferably with Brotli. These algorithms are pretty efficient at shrinking your files. You may find that when compressed, your minified file is not ...
