Reviewing the frontend code, a couple of things stand out.
1) The HTML/CSS code isn't minified.
2) The PNG images can be compressed further (lossless) for extra savings.
3) CSS classes/ids could be further shortened in post-processing.
- corobo 7y agoDoes HTML ever need minifying? Serving using compression would handle it wouldn’t it?
- curben 7y agohtml minifer mostly just remove the whitespaces. Compression (gzip or brotli) preserves the source, i.e. decompressed file is exactly the same as the original's; whereas minifier alters the source.
- corobo 7y agoWell that’s what I mean. Minifying css/js makes sense as it usually includes a concatenation stage. Minifying HTML just makes your page source slightly harder to look at. Whitespace would be squashed into almost nothing with in-transit compression. Probably something nobody ever needs to think of, but as a web dev it’s an argument I’ve had more than once!
