  🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃 JS minification benchmarks: babel-minify, esbuild, terser, uglify-js, swc, google closure compiler, tdewolff/minify

We use terser, a minifier which is part of webpack and usually outperforms Closure Compiler for gzipped output. It's on by default since webpack 4, so it's the lower-effort solution.
