Last reviewed by Netlify Support: June 12, 2022 Actually, no. It doesn’t necessarily optimize every file of your site, but it does optimize certain file types as explained below. Asset optimization is a complex topic. (More information can be found on the Netlify blog, here and here .) To summarize…

About minifying JS, I noticed that it doesn’t work once the code contains “const” or “let”, but it works if we use “var” instead. As it is oldschool JS, is there any roadmap to fix that ?

Hi there, @madsenfr :wave: Thanks for reaching out. Could you share where you are saw this, or steps we can follow to recreate this?

Hi, Thanks for asking. Here are 2 examples that demonstrate the problem very simply. It’s the same very small and simple website, just using var in https://minify-var.netlify.app/ , whereas it use const and let in https://minify-const-let.netlify.app/ Everything is explained in the website itself…

Is there any update on this one ?

Hey there, @madsenfr :wave: Thanks so much for following up-- I assure we have not forgotten. I have resurfaced your question to our Support Engineers. :slight_smile:
