page insight already compressed js files

[Filip Luca]

Page insight is telling me to compress files which are already compressed with uglify.

A tool like 'uglify' probably just removes the whitespace and comments from the JS file.  This is usually referred to as "minification".

"Compression" means to pass the file through gzip, which is supported by all major web servers with a simple configuration file command.

It is beneficial to do both: minify and then compress.

See http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_gzip_module.html or use ngx_pagespeed and get it all done at once :)
