Is minified HTML still valid?

Yes — minification only removes unnecessary characters like comments and extra whitespace. The tag structure and content stay exactly the same, so the page renders identically.

Will minifying break my inline JavaScript or CSS?

This tool only collapses whitespace between HTML tags, not inside <script> or <style> blocks, so inline code is left as-is and won't break from minification.

Should I minify HTML during development?

No — keep your working files readable during development. Minify only as a final step before deploying, since minified HTML is much harder to read and debug.

How much size reduction can I expect?

It depends on how much whitespace and commenting your original file has. Pages with heavy indentation and comments often shrink noticeably more than already-compact markup.

Does minifying HTML affect SEO?

Not directly, but faster page loads from a smaller payload can contribute positively to Core Web Vitals, which is one of many factors search engines consider.
