minifying
Reducing in size
Minifying is the process of reducing code size by removing unnecessary characters—whitespace, comments, line breaks—without changing functionality.
Web developers minify JavaScript and CSS files to improve load times: The build process includes minifying all assets.
The minified version is compact but unreadable, meant for browsers rather than humans.
