Highly configurable HTML compressor for smaller file sizes
HTML minification is the process of removing all unnecessary characters from HTML source code without changing its functionality. This includes:
The primary goal is to reduce the file size, which leads to faster page load times and reduced bandwidth usage.
Minifying your HTML offers several advantages:
Tip: Minification is a crucial step in optimizing web performance. Combine it with image optimization and GZIP compression for maximum impact.
Warning: Be cautious with "unsafe" options like "Remove tag whitespace" as they might lead to invalid HTML, though they offer maximum compression.
Q: Is my code sent to your servers?
A: No! All processing for HTML minification happens locally in your browser. Your code never leaves your device.
Q: Will minification break my HTML?
A: Generally, no. Standard minification should not break your code. However, if you enable certain "unsafe" options, or if your original HTML has errors, issues might arise. Always test the minified output.
Q: Can I reverse minified HTML?
A: Minification is a destructive process in terms of readability. While the functionality remains, restoring the original formatting (indentation, comments, etc.) is not possible. For development, keep a well-formatted version of your source code.
