# Pages with Unminified JS **Priority**: Critical **Impact**: Neutral ## What issues it may cause Failure to minify JavaScript files can result in larger file sizes, leading to longer download times and slower page load speeds. This can negatively impact user experience, particularly for users on slower network connections or devices with limited bandwidth. Additionally, larger file sizes increase the load on servers and consume more network bandwidth, potentially leading to higher hosting costs and reduced server performance. ## How do you fix it Minify JavaScript files before deploying them to your website. Minification tools remove unnecessary whitespace, comments, and other characters from JavaScript files, reducing their size without affecting functionality. Popular minification tools include UglifyJS, Terser, and Google's Closure Compiler. Automate the minification process as part of your build or deployment pipeline to ensure that JavaScript files are minified consistently and efficiently. ## What is the positive impact
