Combining HTML \"minification\" with cache and HTTP compression (WP Super Cache<\/a><\/strong>, or similar) will cut down your bandwidth and ensure near-immediate content delivery while increasing your Google rankings.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin will compress your HTML by shortening URLs<\/strong> and removing standard comments<\/strong> and whitespace<\/strong>; including new lines, carriage returns, tabs and excess spaces. Most importantly, by ignoring <pre><\/code>, <textarea><\/code>, <script><\/code> and Explorer\u00ae conditional comment<\/code> tags, presentation will not be affected<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Installation Instructions<\/dt>\n
      \n
    1. Download the plugin (zip file).<\/li>\n
    2. Upload and activate the plugin through the \"Plugins\" menu in the WordPress admin.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/dd>\n
      Will this plugin slow down my page load times?<\/dt>\n

      Yes, slightly. While you should be using WP Super Cache<\/a><\/strong> anyway, it will correct the issue.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Will Internet Explorer conditional comments be removed?<\/dt>\n

      No.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Is this plugin HTML5-compatible?<\/dt>\n

      Yes.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Will having invalid HTML cause an issue?<\/dt>\n

      Probably, however WordPress does a pretty good job of correcting invalid markup. But honestly, it's your job to make sure that your code doesn't suck.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Will this plugin interfere with my hash-based JavaScript navigation?<\/dt>\n

      If the links in your HTML are not<\/em> hard-coded as hashes without the use of a script, an issue could occur with URL shortening. If so, setting $shorten_urls<\/code> on line 21<\/code> of libs\/html-minify.php<\/em> to false<\/code> will fix that.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      My URLs have the \"http:\" and\/or \"https:\" stripped??<\/dt>\n

      This is totally fine and actually intentional. It's standard and will not cause 404s nor get in the way of your SEO, but it will<\/em> lower file size! You might be interested in reading more about this technique, called scheme-relative URLs<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Why does my compressed HTML have a space between most tags?<\/dt>\n

      To preserve rendered<\/em> whitespace. One or more line breaks in your markup are rendered as a single space in a web browser. Visual discrepancies would occur if those line breaks were not converted to at least one space.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      How do I mark areas that should not be compressed?<\/dt>\n

      While <pre>, <textarea> and <script> tags are automatically left uncompressed, you can designate any code to be exempted from compression. Simply drop your content between a pair of <!--wp-html-compression no compression--><\/code> comment tags. A picture is worth a thousand words; so, check the screenshots<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      How do I compress the contents of <script> tags?<\/dt>\n

      Until a settings page is created, you'll have to edit the file from the \"Plugins\" menu in the WordPress admin. Set $compress_js<\/code> on line 21<\/code> of libs\/html-minify.php<\/em> to true<\/code>. This is not recommended<\/strong> as this plugin is not yet ready to properly<\/em> compress inline scripts.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Are you or have you thought of using HTML Tidy?<\/dt>\n

      Since not every WordPress server supports the installation of PHP extensions, this plugin does not currently make use of HTML Tidy. However, future releases may do so.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Will this plugin work for WordPress version x.x.x?<\/dt>\n

      This plugin has only been tested with versions of WordPress as early as 3.2. For anything older, you'll have to see for yourself.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

      0.5.8<\/h4>\n\n
