What is HTML Validate?

An HTML Minifier is a performance optimization tool that compresses your HTML code by removing unnecessary characters without changing its functionality. When developers write code, they use indentation, comments, and newlines to make it readable. However, browsers don't need these extra characters to render the page. This tool strips out whitespace, comments, and formatting, significantly reducing the file size. Smaller HTML files mean faster download times, lower bandwidth usage, and improved Core Web Vitals (LCP) for your website. This is a crucial step in modern web development deployment pipelines. Our tool runs entirely in your browser, allowing you to minify sensitive templates or proprietary code without ever uploading it to a server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does minification break my code?
Generally, no. However, if your layout relies on whitespace between inline-block elements, minification might slightly alter the visual rendering. It's always good to test.
Does it remove comments?
Yes, standard HTML comments are removed to save space. Some tools allow preserving specific comments (like conditional comments) if configured.
Can I minify inline CSS and JS?
This tool focuses on HTML structure. For best results, use dedicated CSS and JS minifiers for your scripts and styles, though simple inline content is often preserved.
Is it reversible?
Yes, you can use the 'Beautify' option (or an HTML Formatter) to add indentation back, although original comments that were stripped cannot be recovered.
Why should I minify HTML?
Minification reduces the number of bytes the browser needs to download, leading to faster First Contentful Paint (FCP) and a better user experience.
