JavaScript Minifier (JS Minifier)

Compress and Optimize JavaScript Code - Reduce File Size for Faster Websites

What is the JavaScript Minifier Tool?

The JavaScript Minifier (JS Minifier) is a free online utility that compresses JavaScript code by removing unnecessary characters, whitespace, comments, and redundant elements, reducing file size by 50-80% to dramatically improve page load times, enhance user experience, and boost SEO rankings. This tool streamlines your JavaScript files by eliminating all non-essential data—including line breaks, extra spaces, comments, and unused code—while also shortening variable names and function names, resulting in significantly smaller, optimized files that execute faster and consume less bandwidth.brightseotools+2​

Whether you're a web developer optimizing production deployments, an SEO professional improving Core Web Vitals scores, a site owner reducing bounce rates and server costs, building single-page applications that demand maximum performance, or deploying JavaScript libraries and frameworks, the CyberTools JavaScript Minifier provides instant, powerful compression using industry-standard libraries like Terser, UglifyJS, and Google Closure Compiler, with customizable options and complete browser-based privacy.minify-js+2​

Before and After Example

Original JavaScript (Unminified)

javascript
// User authentication function
function authenticateUser(username, password) {
    // Check if username is empty
    if (username === '' || username === null) {
        console.log('Username is required');
        return false;
    }
    
    // Check if password is empty
    if (password === '' || password === null) {
        console.log('Password is required');
        return false;
    }
    
    // Variables for authentication
    var isAuthenticated = false;
    var userRole = 'guest';
    
    // Authentication logic
    if (username === 'admin' && password === 'admin123') {
        isAuthenticated = true;
        userRole = 'administrator';
        console.log('Admin authenticated successfully');
    } else if (username === 'user' && password === 'user123') {
        isAuthenticated = true;
        userRole = 'regular_user';
        console.log('User authenticated successfully');
    }
    
    return {
        authenticated: isAuthenticated,
        role: userRole
    };
}

// Example usage
var isFriendly = true;
if (isFriendly) {
    console.log('Hello world');
}

File Size: ~950 bytes

Minified JavaScript (Using Terser)minify-js​
