What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded
A highly configurable, well-tested JavaScript-based HTML minifier with Node.js and CLI support, capable of also minifying inline CSS and JavaScript. It is now deprecated and unmaintained; users should switch to HTML Minifier Next.
Use cases
- minify html files for production
- compress html in a node build pipeline
- reduce page weight by stripping comments and whitespace
- minify inline css and js inside html
- run html minification from the command line
When to choose
- you need a battle-tested, highly configurable HTML minifier for Node.js or CLI
- you want to minify embedded CSS and JS along with HTML
- you're maintaining a legacy build pipeline already using html-minifier
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use HTML Minifier Next instead
- you need security fixes or ongoing maintenance
- you need minification of non-HTML assets only
