This is a web interface to compress your JavaScript or CSS. This tool uses YUI Compressor 2.4.7.
In my investigation, I discovered coding patterns that prevented YUI Compressor from performing variable name replacement. By modifying or avoiding these coding patterns, you can improve the YUI Compressor’s performance.
Better JavaScript Minification
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.
Helping the YUI Compressor
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.
Minification vs Obfuscation
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.

Every bit of code entered into this tool is made into a file on my server. That file is fed into the YUI Compressor which outputs a compressed version of that file. The original code is removed immediately from the server, but the compressed file sticks around for a while so you can download it. Every hour, files older than 60 minutes are removed automatically from the server.
I made my php class public a while ago. You can see what’s going on here: http://github.com/gpbmike/PHP-YUI-Compressor
I don’t read or copy any of your code. You’ll just have to take my word for it I guess.
