Frequently Asked Questions

What is HTML minification?

HTML minification is the process of removing all unnecessary characters from source code without changing its functionality. This includes removing extra spaces, line breaks, comments, and optional closing tags. The result is a much smaller file that can be downloaded faster by a web browser.

Why is minifying HTML important for SEO?

Search engines like Google use page speed as a ranking factor. Minifying your HTML reduces your website's file size, which leads to faster page load times. A faster website provides a better user experience and can get a boost in search engine rankings. So, it is an important step in technical SEO.

Will minifying my HTML break my website?

It is very unlikely. Our tool uses a robust and well-tested minifier that understands HTML syntax. It only removes characters that are safe to remove. However, it is always a good practice to test your minified code on a staging server before deploying it to your live website, just to be sure.

What's the difference between minifying and Gzipping?

Minifying is done before you upload your files to the server. It removes unnecessary characters from the file itself. Gzipping is a compression method that your web server applies to files before sending them to the browser. They work together perfectly. You should always minify your files first, and then have your server Gzip them for the maximum possible size reduction.

Is the code I paste into the tool private?

Yes, your code is completely private. This tool is powered by JavaScript and runs entirely in your web browser. No data is sent to our servers for processing. Your code remains on your computer at all times.
