I guess the optimization he is mentioning is the minify/uglify of code to reduce the user network cost to "execute"/"run" our client-side web application. In the network point of view, they are just it, a string of chars that will be evaluated in the browser JS engine.
Although I don't actually agree in the usage of "compilation" in this minify/uglify/transpile scenario, because compilation heavily implies in optimization code changes to improve the program runtime, and the steps mentioned only optimizes the network cost/developer UX.

Thanks for replying mate.
What about that javascript "compile" phase? Just an optimised string?
Can you explain the optimization steps for me?
