    Right, the point of it is to minimise loading time for web browsers. You'll be grateful for this when a site uses it, and you're on a shitty 2G connection trying to find something.

    Minifying is a good practice, especially when combined with server-side compression - can result in high compression ratio.

    There's no point doing it to 'hide' your code. That's what packing is for (JS). Google values page speed, so it's important.
