 * When “HTML & Inline JS” minification is selected, inline scripts that contain
   a single line comment will break the script, i.e consider this:
 *     ```
       <script>
       // Comment
       console.log('Hello');
       </script>
       ```
   
 * Will become this after minifying (the log won’t execute as everything gets commented
   out):
 *     ```
       <script>
       // Comment console.log('Hello');
       </script>
       ```
   
 * Suggestion – parse inline JS and strip all comments, including single line and
   even multiline (even though the latter don’t cause an issue, comments are generally
   omitted during minification).
