Beautification and formation of script
The first fundamental question that comes to mind is: What does beautification and formation of the script mean? Moreover, should we beautify and format the script?
When the programmer writes code, he/she always keeps in mind that in the future, if editing is required, it can be performed easily. Moreover, if someone else reads the script, that person can quickly read the script.
To apply the proper formatting, the programmer adds line breaks, comments, commas, and spaces. Therefore, the script delivers the intent, which is what the programmers want to provide. The script should be readable to the eye. It should be eye-catching. Someone reading the script should understand the hierarchy of the script. Also, the script should be useful from a future point of view. Even though you are a professional and experienced programmer, if you do not properly format your script and be careful about indentation, you will create a mess for anyone working on that program. So, always format your script according to the guidelines.
Minification and compression of script
The second fundamental question that comes to mind is: What do minification and compression of the script mean? Should we minify and compress the script, or do the script's minification and compression improve the performance? You must understand that the human eye and computer systems/browsers/search engines see the script differently.
To format the script correctly, the programmer adds indentation, line breaks, comments, commas, and spaces. However, each element you add, whether a line break, comment, comma, or space, takes space in the file and makes the scripting file heavy. When computer systems/compilers/interpreters read that file, they must read each script element. That not only takes time but also affects the script's performance. These extra elements are considered extras in the computer systems/compiler's interpretation.
Minification and compressions are the removal of unnecessary elements from the script. These unneeded/extra elements include spaces, commas, comments, and line breaks. It can consume less bandwidth and provide better accessibility and page loading speed to make the file smaller.
Today, page loading speed is a critical factor in shaping user behavior. As per Google statistics, 50% of website visitors expect a mobile website to load within 2 seconds. 53% of users will probably leave the blog page if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load.
The Google algorithm change in mid-2020 affected some top websites' ranking and traffic because they did not meet Google's page speed requirements. A better page loading speed shapes a better user experience, guaranteeing a better SEO ranking. Minification and script compression help you reduce the file size up to 50%.
That is why minification and the compression of the script are done.
The critical point is that minification and compression do not affect the script's performance.
How can you beautify and minify the script?
You can either manually beautify or minify the script or use some online tools. Online tools are preferred over humans because there is always a chance of error, and it is a time-consuming process in human work. On the other hand, online tools can beautify and minify the script more accurately and instantly.
Do we keep a copy of your script?
Protecting user trust is our top priority. We do not keep a copy of any script the user uploads for the minification or beautification process.
Note: We do not keep a copy of the resulted script. Therefore, if you are happy and satisfied with the results, please copy and paste them to the desired location for future use.
