You decide to avoid the scenic route and minimise the number of stops you make.<\/p>\n<p>Your ultimate goal is to go from A to B as fast as possible by eliminating delays, avoiding detours and bypassing high-traffic areas. The faster you arrive at your destination the better.<\/p>\n<p>This need for speed is exactly what webmasters and website owners aim to do when they condense images and minify CSS and HTML coding.\u00a0<\/p>\n[Tweet &#8220;Speed up your web pages- minify CSS and HTML coding! Find out more&#8230; &#8220;]\n<p>These aforementioned modifications, however small, are simple solutions that save multiple bytes of data.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What does &#8220;minifying&#8221;\u00a0mean?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Minifying helps speed up webpage download times and reduce parse times, which simplifies how servers read and or interpret the symbols within CSS and HTML coding on a given website.<\/p>\n<p>A number of website owners forego these changes simply because they don&#8217;t follow website design and maintenance best practices.<\/p>\n<p>In other cases, it&#8217;s because they don&#8217;t understand how small changes make a big difference in download times. However, these changes, along with condensing images, have a real and quantifiable impact on server response times.<\/p>\n<p>Google has always viewed a website&#8217;s speed as an important indicator of usability. The faster a given page loads, the better the user experience.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, visitors don&#8217;t want to wait aimlessly for slow loading webpages.<\/p>\n<p>This does nothing but frustrate visitors and forces them to leave. So, what is involved in condensing images and minifying HTML and CSS coding?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Condensing images<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are multiple online tools that allow you to condense, optimise and or resize a given JPG, GIF, and or PNG image. Websites like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imageoptimizer.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">imageoptimiser.net<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jpegmini.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">jpegmini.com<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.compressnow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">compressnow.com<\/a>, allow you to upload a given image and condense it.<\/p>\n<p>Doing this helps a webpage load faster by increasing bandwidth and reducing the overall size\u00a0of the images.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, compressnow.com allows you to choose just how much compression in the percentage you need in order to optimise results.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3108 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/compressresult.png\" alt=\"compressed result\" width=\"688\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/compressresult.png 688w, https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/compressresult-300x194.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\" \/><em>Comparison between the original file and compressed version. The original file size of <strong>486.28<\/strong>kb reduced to just <strong>128.53<\/strong>kb, without too much degradation<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Done correctly, compressing and or condensing shouldn&#8217;t\u00a0affect the integrity of the image itself. It simply reduces its size so that it takes up less space and is easier to download.<\/p>\n<p>When you input a given image into any of those aforementioned websites, you&#8217;ll get a comparison result before and after compression, thereby allowing you to quantify the benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Your image will have one set of initial properties defining the number of kilobytes (KB) and another set of properties after resizing.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, you might have an image whose properties are 81.0 KB before resizing and 10.5 KB afterward, which is a significant reduction in kilobytes of data.<\/p>\n<p>Doing this for all the images on your website, and or a specific page will make a substantial improvement in download times.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Compression and image degradation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Image compression saves data but it&#8217;s important to pay close attention to compressing infographics and or images created through Microsoft&#8217;s SmartArt and or excel.<\/p>\n<p>Condensing these images too much sometimes means a degradation of the infographics or image itself. Ultimately, you want these types of images condensed enough so they save data, but not so much that they affect readability.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>HTML and CSS minifying<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s go back to that aforementioned example of the road trip. We want to avoid unnecessary stops and high-traffic areas in order to find the quickest way to our destination.<\/p>\n<p>Your website&#8217;s HTML and CSS coding provide servers with that all-important roadmap. However, it&#8217;s common for HTML coding and CSS coding to have gaps and or useless symbols.<\/p>\n<p>Unnecessary characters, comments, and symbols are removed when you minify a given HTML code or CSS code. Minifying doesn&#8217;t your website&#8217;s functionality &#8211; instead, it makes the coding easier to read.<\/p>\n<p>CSS coding is found in your website&#8217;s or blog&#8217;s stylesheets. Unnecessary white space, block delimiters, and or useless characters are removed through minifying. This leaves you with a condensed code with no gaps or useless symbols.<\/p>\n<p>Minifying HTML and CSS codes increase page speed and download times by making the code easier to read and simpler to interpret.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Minify with online tools<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are a number of free online resources that allow you to minify HTML and CSS coding.<\/p>\n<p>Websites like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.willpeavy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">willpeavy.com<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cssminifier.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cssminifier.com<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.htmlcompressor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">htmlcompressor.com<\/a> allow you to input a given HTML or CSS code and minify with the click of your mouse.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll get a condensed and easier-to-read code that improves download times and your website&#8217;s speed.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to see the results of your efforts, then all you need to do is go to Google&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/page-load-time-important-google-pagespeed-insights-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PageSpeed Insights<\/a> section of Google Developers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1201 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/google-site-speed.png\" alt=\"minify tools\" width=\"1349\" height=\"631\" \/><em>Google Page Speed<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can then measure individual URLs in order to see Google&#8217;s list of suggestions concerning HTML and CSS minifying in addition to those images you should condense.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Google will provide a list of suggested changes and passed rule sets. All are colour-coded in order to indicate status.<\/p>\n<p>Again, making these small changes will improve your website&#8217;s performance and improve usability for your viewers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/page-load-time-important-google-pagespeed-insights-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Page speed<\/a> is just one of the many factors that make up Google&#8217;s famed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/google-algorithm-updates-affect-website\/\">algorithm<\/a>, but boosting your standing in the SERPs is just one of the benefits.<\/p>\n<p>A faster loading website means a better user experience.<\/p>\n<p>A better user experience means a lower <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/blog\/bounce-rates-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bounce rate<\/a>, and ultimately greater\u00a0customer satisfaction!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Constrained by the speed of your web host?
