Minification strips unnecessary characters — whitespace, comments, long variable names — from your CSS and JavaScript files without changing how they function.
Why It Helps
Smaller files download faster, which directly speeds up page rendering, especially on mobile connections where every kilobyte matters more.
How to Enable It
Most caching and performance plugins include a minification option with a single toggle — manual minification is rarely necessary for typical sites.
Test After Enabling
Occasionally, aggressive JavaScript minification can break a poorly written script — quickly test your site's key functionality after turning it on.
