did u mean we have to find every class one by one and replace them with some letters? This is too long procedure.Manish Mahajan– Manish Mahajan2014-04-09 03:11:23 +00:00Commented Apr 9, 2014 at 3:11

Yes, you could. If you wanted to. Note that Facebook isn't using random class names, though. They're not terribly human-readable, but they are clearly not random and appear to be part of whatever particular CSS framework Facebook has created--likely one to go along with their back end framework as well.DA.– DA.2014-04-09 03:12:45 +00:00Commented Apr 9, 2014 at 3:12

I believe the answer you're looking for is the same one given here:
Google uses something called the Google Web Toolkit (or simply GWT) to compile Java "applications" into their Javascript/HTML/CSS counterparts. GWT was used for GMail and Google Wave and my assumption is that it was also used for G+.
The GWT "compiler" (CS purists would never call GWT a compiler but the term fits) programatically names Javascript functions, CSS classes, HTML form IDs, etc. so they are almost never something legible.
