Do you minify?

[pandaa]

Do you combine and/or minify your CSS and JS on your websites? I notice a lot of larger websites do, but it's something I rarely see on smaller websites. Why or why not?

I personally don't because i don't want to. I also notice alot of smaller sites don't. It is very strange. 🙂

I do when I use SASS, cause why not?

I certainly do minify my code because it makes the file a tad bit smaller and is a bit more efficient.

Do you do this mainly to save bandwidth, or to decrease page loading times?

I minify my CSS. I managed to save 37.62% by minifying it, so it makes sense to do it!

Both! Saving bandwidth means it's cheaper for me to host the website and lower page loading times are appreciated by the user!

I minify all the javascripts.
Also, load them at the end of the file, before the </html> tag

I try to as much as I can. It always helps!

I do, it saves bandwidth and speed up website loading.

I just decided to try minify and see if I notice any improvement with performance. I have experienced some lag that gets frustrating. My users do not seem to have any complaints that they have expressed yet.

I haven't done it too much. Probably a good idea, though. 🙂

Consider using gzip compression - for greater bandwidth savings

I use sass so it minimizes automatically
