Would like to mention that there are already tools like https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS (ES5-only) and https://github.com/terser/terser (ultimately forked from the former to add support for ES2015+ code) that do more or less what you're proposing here, but go a lot further to minify code by replacing variable names, rearranging code, removing dead code, changing if/else statements into ternaries, and so on. I personally would recommend downloading a proper minifier like one of those and using that instead for the use case you seem to be interested in.
