HTML Minifier
Minify your HTML to load faster. Simple, fast, effective.
About This Tool
So, you’ve got an HTML file. It works. It’s functional. But it’s kinda chunky—maybe even bloated with extra spaces, comments, and line breaks you don’t really need. That’s where an HTML minifier comes in. Think of it like a digital Marie Kondo: it tidies up your code, keeps what’s useful, and tosses the rest. No fluff. Just cleaner, leaner HTML that loads faster and takes up less space. I’ve used a bunch of these tools over the years—some good, some meh. The best ones don’t just strip whitespace. They know when to leave things alone, like insidetags or inline scripts. They’re smart, not aggressive. And honestly? Once you start using one regularly, you’ll wonder how you lived without it.Key Features
- Removes unnecessary whitespace, line breaks, and indentation—without breaking your layout.
- Strips out HTML comments (except conditional ones, if you want).
- Optionally collapses boolean attributes—turns
disabled="disabled"into justdisabled. - Minifies inline CSS and JavaScript within style and script tags (if enabled).
- Preserves content inside
,, and other whitespace-sensitive tags. - Works on full documents or partial snippets—great for quick fixes or build pipelines.
- Usually offers a preview or diff view so you can see what changed before committing.
FAQ
Will minifying break my website?
Not if you use a decent tool. Most modern minifiers are careful. They won’t touch content that needs spacing, like inside blocks. But always test after minifying—especially if you’re doing it in production. A quick local check saves headaches later.
Is minified HTML still readable?
Nope. And that’s the point. It’s not meant for humans to read—it’s meant for browsers to parse quickly. If you need to debug, keep a clean version in your repo. Minify only for deployment or performance-critical pages.
