Does w3compiler obfuscate JavaScript?
In the sense that it will be difficult to reverse engineer a script that is compiled, yes, w3compiler obfuscates. However, because more powerful source-level obfuscation often picks larger, complex variables that look similar (such as 1ll1l1l1 and 1l1||1|1) as substitutions, it does not really produce smaller code in many cases. We focus on, and have worked to master, optimization as opposed to better obfuscation. However, we may enable more difficult variable substitutions in an upcoming version if we see user demand. So far though, user feedback indicates speed and file size with basic obfuscation is more important than large file size with better obfuscation. Tell us what you think…
