HTML Minifier
Compress your HTML code safely. Reduce file size, remove comments, and speed up your website load times.
How to Use the HTML Minifier
This tool is designed to optimize your HTML code for production environments. By removing unnecessary characters like comments, newlines, and excessive whitespace, you can significantly reduce the file size of your web pages. This leads to faster download times, reduced bandwidth usage, and improved SEO rankings.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Paste Your Code: Copy your raw HTML code from your text editor and paste it into the left panel labeled "Input HTML".
- Select Options: Use the toggle switches at the top to customize the compression:
- Remove Comments: Strips out all
<!-- -->notes. - Collapse Whitespace: Reduces multiple spaces and newlines to a single space.

Why Minify HTML?
Minification is a standard best practice in modern web development. While search engines like Google can crawl uncompressed code, user experience depends heavily on speed.
1. Faster Page Load Speed
Every byte counts. By removing thousands of characters of whitespace and comments, you can reduce your HTML file size by 15-20%. On mobile networks with high latency, this reduction translates to a noticeably snappier page load.
2. Lower Bandwidth Costs
If you run a high-traffic website, bandwidth usage is a real cost. Minifying your assets reduces the data transfer required for every single visitor, which can result in significant savings on your hosting bill over time.
3. Cleaner Code for Production
While comments and indentation are crucial for development and debugging, they are useless to the browser. Minification acts as a "compilation" step for the web, ensuring the browser receives only the instructions it needs to render the page, nothing more.
