So I just tried 4 minifiers. Here are the results:
https://javascript-minifier.com/
Fails on class Helpers {
https://jscompress.com/
Fails on class Helpers {
https://www.minifier.org/
Worked!!! Input was 81K, minimized is 46K.
NUglify: https://github.com/xoofx/NUglify
Fails. Produced: Object.entries(t).map([n,t]=>i.setAttributeNS(null,n,t))
Note [n,t] needs to be ([n,t])
Too bad about NUglify. It produced a 37K minified file.
3 out of 4 failed.

Having never heard of a 'minifer', I followed the link that you said worked; OK, I understand what they are now.
The next question is: does the page/site load noticeably faster when using the 'minifer'ed version?
If so, what percent increase was seen?

Yes -- keep in mind not everyone is on highspeed internet, so minifying the javascript your website references can result in a 50% speed improvement on loading. Potentially more if you're on a satellite connection where the round trip ACK for each TCP/IP packet (typical MTU of 1500 bytes) can be time consuming, though having simulated such stuff, I would imagine that a satellite "router" attempts to deal with this by not using TCP/IP directly over the satellite, where every 1500 byte packet requires an ACK.
Basically, minifying Javascript is a quite simple method of improving website performance regardless of the connection quality. It also makes the javascript harder to read by would-be hackers or the just plain curious. Obviously one wouldn't do this during development!

Thank you; I can see where it would be beneficial.
I've largely spent my career in the local world and largely avoiding web development.
Now, if there was some way to compile it... but that is a whole other barrel of fish.

Yes, that is exactly what WASM is all about.
MDN has done its usual due diligence and added several sections about it:

Not so much anymore, Chrome has the ability to pretty print JavaScript and CSS now. Plus unminifier tools are freely available out there too.
Accidentally minified my source JS file once... yay for unminifiers.

So you have about (46K-37K)/2 times something like ...map(([n,t])=>.... ? 
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

It did make me wonder, but no, I don't.

Weird. I believe we use the Microsoft one and it runs post build. Never had a problem with it and have been using it for 8 years.

What is the actual size being transmitted?
Since web traffic is / can be compressed by default, is it worth doing "minify" explicitly? (i.e. is it redundant when considering compression).

Zipping the raw js vs. the minified js resulted in 17K and 9K respectively, so even if the web traffic is compressed, it's still ~50% reduction. At least, in my one little test!

i've used this no-name compressor: JSCompressor[^]. i think it's pretty old and i don't have complex js. i don't know how it will work with modern/latest js.

Tomorrow is a public holiday in the UK, as is Monday. I suspect it's the same in many European countries.
Should CCC OTD "play through", or be deferred until Tuesday as a result?
I don't mind either way, but I'll leave it up to you lot: whatever you decide in teh next four hours (just to give us a limit) I will go with.

You are probably not roman catholic. If you were, you probably would not have to ask. Just confess your sins and use the days for atonement.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Is that a "Gloria Patri, et filio, et spiritui sancto" or a "Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa" for a CCC tomorrow?

Maybe it's a cue to rewrite the famous cricket quote, with Michael Holding as the bishop, and Peter Willey as the choirboy.
