Minification and obfuscation solve different problems. Minification is about download size (and somewhat parse/exec speed). Obfuscation is about making code harder to reverse-engineer, patch or copy.

The question is: do you have anything worth protecting? For a simple marketing website, probably not. But if you're shipping:

- A browser game (think of copycats & anti-cheat front end code) - Feature flags that reveal your roadmap - Pricing/discount logic in product companies competitors could copy - Client-side validation algorithms (easily explained by LLMs) - Proprietary algorithms (trading, scoring, matching)

...then "anyone can read your source" becomes a concern.

Does any of that apply to what you build?
