Practical Examples
React Component Optimization
Reduce React component bundle size by 70% for faster loading
BEFORE (Original JavaScript)
import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import { formatCurrency, validateEmail } from "../utils/helpers";
const UserProfile = ({ userId, onUpdate }) => {
const [user, setUser] = useState(null);
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
const [error, setError] = useState(null);
useEffect(() => {
const fetchUserData = async () => {
try {
setLoading(true);
const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${userId}`);
if (!response.ok) throw new Error("Failed to fetch");
const userData = await response.json();
setUser(userData);
} catch (err) {
setError(err.message);
} finally {
setLoading(false);
}
};
fetchUserData();
}, [userId]);
return (
<div className="user-profile">
{loading && <div>Loading...</div>}
{error && <div className="error">{error}</div>}
{user && <UserDetails user={user} onUpdate={onUpdate} />}
</div>
);
};
AFTER (Minified JavaScript)
import e,{useState as t,useEffect as r}from"react";import{formatCurrency as n,validateEmail as a}from"../utils/helpers";const i=({userId:e,onUpdate:n})=>{const[a,i]=t(null),[s,o]=t(!0),[c,u]=t(null);return r((()=>{(async()=>{try{o(!0);const t=await fetch(`/api/users/${e}`);if(!t.ok)throw new Error("Failed to fetch");const r=await t.json();i(r)}catch(e){u(e.message)}finally{o(!1)}})()}),[e]),React.createElement("div",{className:"user-profile"},s&&React.createElement("div",null,"Loading..."),c&&React.createElement("div",{className:"error"},c),a&&React.createElement(UserDetails,{user:a,onUpdate:n}))};
Express.js API Route Compression
Compress Node.js API routes for optimized server deployment
BEFORE (Original JavaScript)
const express = require("express");
const bcrypt = require("bcrypt");
const jwt = require("jsonwebtoken");
const { validationResult } = require("express-validator");
const router = express.Router();
// User authentication endpoint
router.post("/login", async (req, res) => {
try {
// Validate input
const errors = validationResult(req);
if (!errors.isEmpty()) {
return res.status(400).json({
success: false,
message: "Validation failed",
errors: errors.array()
});
}
const { email, password } = req.body;
// Find user in database
const user = await User.findOne({ email });
if (!user) {
return res.status(401).json({
success: false,
message: "Invalid credentials"
});
}
// Verify password
const isValidPassword = await bcrypt.compare(password, user.password);
if (!isValidPassword) {
return res.status(401).json({
success: false,
message: "Invalid credentials"
});
}
// Generate JWT token
const token = jwt.sign(
{ userId: user._id, email: user.email },
process.env.JWT_SECRET,
{ expiresIn: "24h" }
);
res.json({
success: true,
message: "Login successful",
token,
user: {
id: user._id,
email: user.email,
name: user.name
}
});
} catch (error) {
console.error("Login error:", error);
res.status(500).json({
success: false,
message: "Internal server error"
});
}
});
AFTER (Minified JavaScript)
const e=require("express"),r=require("bcrypt"),s=require("jsonwebtoken"),{validationResult:t}=require("express-validator"),a=e.Router();a.post("/login",(async(e,a)=>{try{const o=t(e);if(!o.isEmpty())return a.status(400).json({success:!1,message:"Validation failed",errors:o.array()});const{email:n,password:i}=e.body,c=await User.findOne({email:n});if(!c)return a.status(401).json({success:!1,message:"Invalid credentials"});if(!await r.compare(i,c.password))return a.status(401).json({success:!1,message:"Invalid credentials"});const u=s.sign({userId:c._id,email:c.email},process.env.JWT_SECRET,{expiresIn:"24h"});a.json({success:!0,message:"Login successful",token:u,user:{id:c._id,email:c.email,name:c.name}})}catch(e){console.error("Login error:",e),a.status(500).json({success:!1,message:"Internal server error"})}}));

Best Practices
- Always test minified code thoroughly before production deployment
- Enable source maps for debugging production issues
- Use variable mangling cautiously with third-party libraries
- Implement automated minification in your build pipeline
- Keep original source code in version control
- Monitor bundle size impact on Core Web Vitals and performance metrics
Troubleshooting Guide
Syntax Errors After Minification
Check for ES6+ features in legacy environments or missing semicolons
Broken Functionality
Disable variable mangling for libraries that depend on function names
Source Map Issues
Ensure proper source map configuration and file paths
Large File Processing
Split large files into smaller chunks or use streaming processing
Third-party Integration
Use exclude patterns for external libraries that should not be minified
