Good afternoon!
I’m using the JSON results through the REST API. I’m looking document-by-document through the results and noticing that JavaScript files I know aren’t minified are coming back as “minify_save: 0”.
I found this thread: http://www.webpagetest.org/forums/showthread.php?tid=12963&highlight=minify where it’s stated that maybe the minification checks were removed.
I guess I’m checking to see if that is indeed the case or if I’m doing something incorrectly. If it was purposefully removed, I’d like to make a PASSIONATE plea to return it.
My use-case for this is to run post-release tests on our pages. We’re going to start working on some page speed fixes, and I want to see if the results are changing over time, and if we end up re-introducing issues (one that just cropped up: cache-control header was being mangled on our new CDN).
Minification may not be a huge byte saver, but every little bit helps.
Thank you!
