Compress CSS and HTML To Speed Up Site Load Time Part 1

imageWith new developments coming forward these days in the Web Development field, many new opportunities are now available to further optimize your page, while avoiding heavy JavaScript and difficult coding for newer people. Using Compression is one of the main ways. Let’s get onto the techniques, shall we?

 

 

 

Note:
Please save all of your files in a folder just in case you ever need to edit them. Keep all the compressed files which we will make, in a separate folder such as a publish folder.
If you have a Blogger account just download your template from the box above the editor.

CSS Compression:

Decreasing page size will ultimately reduce load time and make your webpage more SEO friendly. The first step is to compress your CSS. I would recommend keeping one copy for later editing, and one copy for compression. Go to CSS drive, and select whichever options you want for compression (I recommend Super compact, and strip all comments). After you have submitted your CSS, either put it into an embedded style sheet, or use an external style sheet, whichever you prefer.



HTML Compression

 

Lastly, we are going to compress our html. Go to Text Fixer and paste your entire html markup there. After it is compressed, you may paste it into the blogger editor, or into your webpage file. This will remove all comments, spaces etc. However, for editing purposes, I would still recommend keeping a separate copy in case you need to change your template.

  1. Good Post Anims, I would recommend external stylesheets for faster page load time because the css file will be cached in the browser and it does'nt have to download the css file again when you visit other pages,right?
