Description
HtmlMin is a fast and very easy to use PHP library that minifies given HTML5 source by removing extra whitespaces, comments and other unneeded characters without breaking the content structure. As a result pages become smaller in size and load faster. It will also prepare the HTML for better gzip results, by re-ranging (sort alphabetical) attributes and css-class-names.
