How can I automate minification in my build process?

You can automate minification by using build tools like Webpack, Gulp, or Grunt. These tools can be configured to minify your JavaScript and CSS files during the build process.

What specific plugins or tools should I use with Webpack?

For Webpack, you can use the 'terser-webpack-plugin' for JavaScript minification and 'css-minimizer-webpack-plugin' for CSS.

Can you show me a sample Webpack configuration for this?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

const TerserPlugin = require('terser-webpack-plugin');
const CssMinimizerPlugin = require('css-minimizer-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimize: true,
    minimizer: [
      new TerserPlugin(),
      new CssMinimizerPlugin(),
    ],
  },
};

Is there a way to test the minified files?

Yes, you can use tools like 'Lighthouse' or 'WebPageTest' to analyze the performance of your minified files.
