## Description

**This plugin requires PHP 7+, so if you are using an old PHP version it will not
work**

Minify and Optimize your Javascript by clicking one button. All you have to do is
go to Settings and click Javascript Minify. Activating the plugin there will minify
and optimize your Javascript. No settings required, just click one button.

So anything you can do to speed up the load time of your site should be worth investigating,
right? One such thing is “minifying” the Javascript files that are used in part 
to build your site. As is typically the case, there is a plugin available that can
do the job for you – Suprise: It’s this one! Code from this plugin is forked from
aph merge scripts a really great plugin. You can find it by searching for it here
on wordpress.org in the plugin search. Also full copyright to JShrink and YUIcompressor,
which is used in this plugin.
