Does it make sense to minify js\css with gzip + http2 enabled on nginx?

Question

Web development

Hello!
Chrome recommends minifying js\css files, but is it practical when using gzip compression and also http2 protocol?
I suppose that gzip gets rid of minification, and http2 from combining all assets into one (several) file.
Does it make sense to get dirty from a practical point of view?

Answer 1

I made a report on this topic: https://youtu.be/rQDd5kCwDj8
Briefly - yes.

Answer 2

You need to minify and have (better prepared in advance, not on the fly) 3 options:
- plain text for very old browsers and robots that forget to specify accept-encoding
- gzip for just old browsers
- br (brotli) for modern browsers
