Techniques for minifying a client-side web application are described. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes performing a static analysis of a set of files written in a dynamic programming language that make up the web application. A single minified web application file is generated based on a traversal of a dependency graph that includes, in proper dependency order, components that are needed at runtime and does not include components of the set of files that will not be needed at runtime. The single minified web application file may be delivered to end user computing devices in place of the original set of files without loss of web application functionality.
