### What is minification?

As a process of code optimization, Minification removes unnecessary information from the source code such as white spaces, line breaks, comments, etc to help your pages load faster.

### How does it help?

Minification can bring these benefits to your site:

* Decrease the loading time of your website for better performance
* Improve score of crucial elements of Google pagespeed: [FCP](https://web.dev/fcp/), [LCP](https://web.dev/lcp/) and increase your site’s speed score

### How does it work?

1. In "Speed up customization" -> Minification
2. Turn on the Minification 
3. Select file type you want to minify. We support CSS and Javascript
4. Click **Save**
