Which of the following is a common method of improving performance using scripts in SFCC?

Minifying JavaScript files is a common method used to improve performance in Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC). This technique involves reducing the size of JavaScript files by eliminating unnecessary characters such as whitespace, comments, and sometimes shortening variable names. The result is a smaller file size, which can lead to faster loading times for web pages, as less data is transmitted over the network. Optimizing JavaScript in this manner decreases the overall amount of data that users need to download, which can enhance the user experience especially on slower connections or devices.

While redesigning website layouts, increasing server bandwidth, and adding more content can have their own benefits, they do not directly target the optimization of script performance in the same way that minification does. Redesigning may improve usability or aesthetic appeal but can introduce complexity without guaranteeing performance enhancements. Increasing bandwidth affects the capacity to handle more data but doesn’t directly improve how scripts are processed. Finally, adding more content can often lead to a decrease in performance rather than an improvement, as it can increase the loading times.
