What this tool does
Minify HTML while keeping whitespace that affects how text is displayed and preserving the formatting inside pre and textarea. This reduces the document size without joining words that should stay separate.

FAQ
Why can't you just remove all whitespace?
Whitespace between inline elements affects visible text, and pre/textareas are also left blank; global replacement breaks content.
Will the code in script and style be compressed?
The current configuration does not additionally minify inline JS/CSS and just lets the HTML minifier safely handle element boundaries.
Can the compression result directly replace the source code?
Keep the original file. Check how the minified result displays where you plan to use it, especially if the content includes special template syntax.
