Hi,

 

Im using Notepad++ to code my sites at the moment, but was wondering if you could recommend software to shrink my file sizes to upload onto the web?

And how do they work exactly? Remove whitespace im guessing?

 

Do they convert it for you to upload and then re-convert into the way i wrote it out in Notepad++ ?? (ie Indented)

 

Thanks guys

bump...anyone?

I'm not aware of any HTML code shrinkers, only HTML tidy tools which clean up/auto indent your code. I only know of some CSS shrinkers that remove comments/whitespace and join properties etc.

 

Either way, there should be no need to use any form of HTML shrinker if you code cleanly anyway, i.e. using divs/classes moderately and generally coding as semantically as possible.

A good, free CSS shrinker/formatter

 

I use it myself on occasion, and it's from the same people who make WeBuilder, so it's got pedigree

I've just come across another service that 'organizes' your CSS, rather than shrink it like others. That, along with the link I provided in my first post could be 2 useful tools for optimizing/organizing your CSS.
