Frequently Asked Questions

Why minify PHP?

Minifying PHP reduces code size, which can lead to slightly faster parsing and execution, and lower bandwidth usage. It also obfuscates the code to a small degree, making it slightly harder to read.

Is minified PHP harder to maintain?

Yes, you should maintain your original, formatted PHP files and only use minified versions for production. This ensures code readability during development.

Is variable shortening safe?

The variable shortening provided here is very basic. For more complex PHP projects, it's generally not recommended to shorten variable names automatically, as it can lead to conflicts and make debugging very difficult. Use this feature with caution.
