Generally, using a JavaScript minifier is safe when the tool correctly processes the code and the resulting file is tested before deployment. Minification changes the formatting of the JavaScript but should preserve its functionality. However, it’s important to keep an unminified backup because the compressed version can be difficult to read and edit. After using a JavaScript minifier, test important website features to make sure everything continues to work properly before replacing the original production file.
