Filesize varies in chromes network-panel

I am trying to analyze the performance of my web-app with Chrome DevTools. So I was looking at timings under "Inspect Element" > "Network". While comparing localhost to the same page on the web, I noticed that the size of several .js-Files varied significantly, i.e. one minified .js was shown with 4.5kb on the web and 13.9kb on localhost. However, when I right-clicked these entries in nw-panel to "Save", I got identical files with 14kb.

So where do these variations come from? (BTW, Firefox shows that file also with14kb when access on the web!)

Most probably your web server has deflate compression for plaintext files enabled while your local server doesn't. (mod_deflate in apache)

Compare the Content-Encoding headers of both variants.
