minify
Reduce in size
Minify means to make smaller or reduce in size, used almost exclusively in computing.
To minify code is to remove unnecessary characters—whitespace, comments, line breaks—without changing functionality: We minify our JavaScript before deployment.
Minified files load faster because they contain fewer bytes.
The noun is minification.
