Relatively to itself, HTML Minifier Next is by now 4–6 times faster (!) than when the project started (and, therefore, its predecessors).

This comes in addition to maintained dependencies, bug fixes, and new features.

Try it out—and let me know about issues and suggestions!

HTML Minifier Next now provides the option to change JS minifiers, by adding support for SWC 🚀

To change from Terser to SWC, specify the engine for `minifyJS` as in

`minifyJS: {
engine: 'swc'
}

and install @swc/core as a dev or main dependency (`npm i @swc/core`).

Enjoy significantly faster performance on JS-heavy HTML pages!

#html #js #minification #swc

If you're a HTML Minifier (HM) or HTML Minifier Terser (HMT) user, I suggest to have a look at HTML Minifier Next (HMN).

HMN:

* includes security updates and bug fixes
* provides additional configuration options (including presets)
* is faster
* comes with a more comfortable web version
* is run by someone who ❤️s HTML

HMN is generally compatible with HM and HMT.

Extended the HTML Minifier Next benchmarks with @swc/html, and regenerated the data:

The goal of HMN is to (keep) deliver the best minification results, so if you spot an issue with another tool’s settings, please help keep the tests ambitious!

Sorry for the #lazyweb request; I've looked and come up mostly empty-handed:

#JS peeps, are there any effective minifiers that are just a single binary and don't require node? My use case specifically is targeting the output of the #elm transpiler, if that helps or matters.

Thanks.
