# Welcome to Minify!
## Minify is no longer regularly maintained

The original authors no longer recommend using Minify, especially previous versions, which were not designed to handle modern JS and CSS syntax. Instead, use an up-to-date performance measurement tool like [Lighthouse](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/overview) and follow its recommendations.

In 2010, Minify offered a fine improvement for some websites, but browsers and HTTP servers are now much better, and Minify may offer only a marginal performance benefit in narrow cases. Also both JS and CSS now change rapidly, and new syntaxes are likely to lead to broken code being served through Minify.

## About

Minify is an HTTP server for JS and CSS assets. It compresses and combines files
and serves it with appropriate headers, allowing conditional GET or long-Expires.
