To decrease loading time for pages, it is always nice to minify your HTML, CSS and JS. Also to decrease number of requests we inject our minified CSS/JS directly on our pages (ofc we will do that unless our CSS/JS have small size), so minus 2 requests to all pages.
Now time to write couple lines of real code
1. UglifyJS - compress JS
var uglifyJS = require("uglify-js");
var result = uglifyJS.minify("filename.js");
console.log(result.code);
2. Sqwish - compress CSS
var sqwish = require('sqwish');
var filename=app.get('filename.css');
fs.readFile(filename, 'utf8', function(err, data) {
if (err) throw err;
var minifiedCss = sqwish.minify(data)
console.log(minifiedCss);
})
3. HTMLMinifier - compress HTML
var htmlminifier = require('html-minifier');
var minifiedHTML = htmlminifier.minify(data, {
removeComments: true,
removeCommentsFromCDATA: true,
collapseWhitespace: true,
collapseBooleanAttributes: true,
removeAttributeQuotes: true,
removeEmptyAttributes: true
});
