Minify HTML – why not complete minification

    I love this plugin but I’m wondering why it stops short of completely minifying my HTML. I’m using GTmetrix to analyze my site. It says there’s an additional 233 bytes that could be eliminated through minification. Is there something more that can be done?

    Minify HTML is also designed to be fast and use little server resources. Not sure where the 233 bytes in savings would come from, but my guess would be from JavaScript minification. Which I would speculate is specific to your website that has lots of inline it on page JavaScript instead of proper JS in files.

    Basically, I’d really doubt there’s much of a real-world difference. Also, you should be using grip compression as well so that 223 bytes is probably more like 60, in other words insignificant once server overhead is considered.

    Closed unless I see the example in question.
