HTML Minifier
Minify HTML code by removing comments, whitespace, and optional tags
Minification Options
⚡What is HTML Minification?
HTML minification is the process of removing unnecessary characters from HTML code without changing its functionality. This includes removing whitespace, comments, and optional tags to reduce file size and improve page load times.
Minified HTML loads faster because browsers need to download less data. For high-traffic websites, even small reductions in file size can significantly reduce bandwidth costs and improve user experience.
What Gets Removed?
HTML Comments
Comments are useful during development but unnecessary in production. They add to file size without providing any benefit to end users.
Whitespace
Extra spaces, tabs, and newlines make code readable but are ignored by browsers. Removing them can reduce file size by 10-30%.
Empty Attributes
Attributes with empty values (class="") serve no purpose and can be safely removed to reduce file size.
Optional Tags
Some closing tags like </li> and </p> are optional in HTML5. Removing them is valid and reduces file size.
Performance Benefits
Minifying HTML provides several performance benefits that directly impact user experience and SEO:
- Faster Downloads: Smaller files download faster, especially on slow connections
- Reduced Bandwidth: Less data transferred means lower hosting costs
- Better Core Web Vitals: Faster loading improves LCP and other metrics
- Improved SEO: Page speed is a Google ranking factor
- Better Mobile Experience: Critical for users on cellular networks
For best results, combine HTML minification with CSS/JS minification, image optimization, and server-side compression (gzip/brotli).
