Site Compression Tools


If you have used any of the tools listed on the SEO Evaluators page, chances are you've seen suggestions for your website's code like, "Enable compression", "Minify JavaScript", "Minify HTML", etc.

You may be left wondering where you need to go next to do this. Below you will find a list of site compression tools I have found to be most useful and most user-friendly.


What is "Minification" and how can site compression tools help with the minification or compression of your coding?


Site compression tools are used to automate the process of minimizing the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code read by search engines.

Compressing your code makes your pages download quicker in web-browsers and search engines look at sites that do this to their code more favorably. This comes at the cost of the code being less readable by the coders, but well worth it when you think about the how pleased your site's visitors will be with a quick-loading website.
