HTML Minification removes unnecessary characters from the final HTML output before it is sent to the browser. This process optimizes the markup without affecting visible content or layout.
10.1 Overview #
This includes removal of:
- Extra white spaces
- Line breaks
- HTML comments
- Redundant attributes
The structure and functionality of your website remain unchanged. Only the file size is reduced.
Benefits:
- Smaller page size
- Faster server response
- Improved Time To First Byte (TTFB)
