# “Staatic” & minify html code

 * My site uses minify html code:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <p>Example-1</p><p>Example-2</p><p>Example-3</p>
       ```
   
 * Your plugin invalidates minify html code:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <p>Example-1</p>
       <p>Example-2</p>
       <p>Example-3</p>
       ```
   
 * How to make “Staatic” save minify html code?

 * Unfortunately Staatic is unable to retain the minified HTML code completely, 
   since it alters the HTML code during the rewriting of URLs.
 * However, you may have better results while using “Simple Html Dom Parser”, which
   can be configured in Staatic > Settings > Advanced. From our experience, this
   HTML DOM Parser leaves unchanged HTML mostly as-is.
 * To ensure fully minified HTML code, the minification process should be applied
   after all pages have been processed by Staatic.
 * Note that some CDN services have built in HTML (and CSS/JS) minification available,
   like Cloudflare and Netlify, which could make this very easy if available to 
   you.

 * Thanks for the answer! Unfortunately, “Simple Html Dom Parser” keeps minification,
   but not completely 🙁

 * We have created an [example HTML minification plugin](https://assets.staatic.com/support/staatic-html-minifier-example.zip)
   which uses voku [HtmlMin](https://github.com/voku/HtmlMin) under the hood, in
   order to minify any HTML resources processed by Staatic during the publication
   process. Feel free to modify the plugin as needed.

 * Thank you very much for your new wonderful plugin **“Staatic HTML Minifier”**!
   It perfectly complements the magical work of your main plugin **“Staatic – Static
   Site Generator”**!

 * Plugin **“Staatic HTML Minifier”** does not put these tags at the end of the 
   html code of a static page:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       </body></html>
       ```
   
 * Please, fix this bug!

 * This is by design, since these tags are optional in HTML5. See also: [https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html#syntax-tag-omission](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html#syntax-tag-omission).
