SEO tool warns compressed js is unminified

Site URL: https://www.TwelveAndTwentyEight.com

Hello All - Our Digital Marketing Team told us that our home page size is approx 7 MB which is not good for SEO and needs to be reduced if possible. Below is the breakup of elements contributing to that size from a Chrome Extension called Page Inspector. As you can see JS, CSS is contributing approzx 4 MB to the page size. Is there a way to reduce it by some squarespace settings? Isn't Squarespace optimizing code JS, HTML, CSS on it's own- same way it optimizes image sizes? As per https://www.directom.com/minify-javascript-css-warnings/ Squarespace doesn't optimize code but I am posting here to confirm/check with you all. As a Backup option, I have connected my site to CloudFlare (10 minutes ago) with a hope that it may help in the desired outcome. 

If you use Cloudflare, you can enable Minify HTML/CSS/JS in Cloudflare

@tuanphan Thanks for your inputs! I have connected our site to CloudFlare but was wondering why isn't Squarespace minifying code - like it does images I think.

Minify code often causes many unwanted problems. It is very easy to damage the CSS resulting in a broken template.

@ridhasekhri did this work?

Is Cloudfare something we should be using? I guess I hesitated when they ask for my DNS to point to them. Do they, in turn, point to my Squarespace site?

I did purchase Cloudflare, but they are unable to minify any items that include "min" in the name (which seems to be around 60 files) like https://assets.squarespace.com/universal/scripts-compressed/cldr-resource-pack-19f316c82441424835c5a-min.en-US.js

Curious why Squarespace doesn't minify these universal scripts.

Using SEMRush I have an error  "unminified JavaScript and CSS files"

I am guessing there is nothing users can do at our end but is this something I should be concerned about or that Squarespace should be doing or is it just a minor issue?

This is a Squarespace issue that they should be addressing - I see it on most Squarespace websites, unfortunately.

As I mentioned on your other post @simon.stjohn - focus on high-quality backlinks, content and keyword research and these things won't really matter.

Does anyone know if this is on the Squarespace roadmap to be addressed at some point?

SEMRush warns 

https://assets.squarespace.com/universal/scripts-compressed/cldr-resource-pack-47d1221231df25bde9715-min.en-US.js

is unminified.

Hello all.

I've run my website through Semrush, and it says pretty much all pages on my website have unminified Javascript and CSS files, which is affecting loading time.

Can anyone tell me how I can minify them, or increase my website speed? Another website told me my speed is within acceptable siza parameters, but I wonder if the 3-4 second load time for certain pages is unacceptable if I want to keep customers on my website.

In Squarespace, we can minify JavaScript and CSS files. If we can, then how? Does Squarespace provide a feature that allows us to minify Unminify files?

SS provides no features to minify or unminify code.

Any code that SS provides to run your site, if unminified, can not be minified by you.

Any custom code you install on your site you can of course minify. You would have to find and use your own tools/processes to accomplish this task.
