Select a file you want to compress. This tool uses YUI Compressor 2.4.2.
To use, copy/paste your code into the text area or select a file to upload. Then choose your compression type, JS or CSS. Finally, press the compress button.
Running your JavaScript code through YUI Compressor results in tremendous savings by default, but there are things you can do to increase the byte savings even further.
A minifier removes the comments and unnecessary whitespace from a program. Depending on how the program is written, this can reduce the size by about half. An obfuscator also minifies, but it will also make modifications to the program, changing the names of variables, functions, and members, making the program much harder to understand, and further reducing its size in the bargain.
When we talk of style here, we are not talking about fads and fashions, nor are we talking about CSS or conventions of layout or typography. We are talking about timeless qualities of expression which can substantially increase the value of a codebase. For companies whose valuations are are inextricably bound to their codebases, style should be a vital concern.
