Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP-HTML-Compression

Upload and activate the plugin through the "Plugins" menu in the WordPress admin.

Yes, slightly. While you should be using WP Super Cache anyway, it will correct the issue.

No.

Yes.

Probably, however WordPress does a pretty good job of correcting invalid markup. But honestly, it's your job to make sure that your code doesn't suck.

If the links in your HTML are not hard-coded as hashes without the use of a script, an issue could occur with URL shortening. If so, setting $shorten_urls on line 21 of libs/html-minify.php to false will fix that.

This is totally fine and actually intentional. It's standard and will not cause 404s nor get in the way of your SEO, but it will lower file size! You might be interested in reading more about this technique, called scheme-relative URLs.

To preserve rendered whitespace. One or more line breaks in your markup are rendered as a single space in a web browser. Visual discrepancies would occur if those line breaks were not converted to at least one space.

While <pre>, <textarea> and <script> tags are automatically left uncompressed, you can designate any code to be exempted from compression. Simply drop your content between a pair of  comment tags. A picture is worth a thousand words; so, check the screenshots.

Until a settings page is created, you'll have to edit the file from the "Plugins" menu in the WordPress admin. Set $compress_js on line 21 of libs/html-minify.php to true. This is not recommended as this plugin is not yet ready to properly compress inline scripts.
